Today was the first real day for peonies. Yesterday we had one open and today we were able to collect about 8 more, with loads more buds waiting to burst on the shrubs. I soaked the cut flowers in water in the kitchen sink to kill off as many insects as possible. I know it's not necessary, but I find it less visually distracting when my flowers aren't being tramped upon by tiny bugs. After a couple of hours in the sink I transferred them to a vase and admired the show.
