Charm Peony Delight

Soft pink peonies are the whole story here. They often come in tight buds and open over a few days into big, ruffled blooms, set in a vase with a petal pattern that echoes the flowers. Pick from five sizes, Small through Deluxe, to match the space and the moment.

Peony lovers rarely need a reason, so this works as a just-because gift as much as a birthday or thank you. Recut the stems and refresh the water to help the buds open. Peonies have a short season, so availability can shift through the year.

A neighborhood florist puts it together by hand.
