Gorgeous. Peonies are my favorite garden flower. Sadly, I don’t have any in my garden, although I hope to plant some this summer.

Me too! They remind me so much of my Dad’s garden as a kid…I loved watching the ants open them up. Now I have some of my Dad’s peonies in my garden and the girls love to watch the ants open them up. I don’t have any white ones…they are stunning.

I have the exact same ones as you. White with that little brush of red on a few inside petals. I love mine as well. I spend a lot of time smelling them when they are in bloom :)

I have Fushia coloured peonies! Now I want white after seeing that picture. MY Husband demanded that we plant peonies and he was right. So short lived but OH So Beautiful…BTW did you get an ant up your nose on that shot. ;)

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
