beautiful Joann!
This is the problem with double peonies. Their stems are not big enough to support the blossom. I got one pink one like this is most of the b looms are down. I have two singles that don't fall over as much. They are nice photos though.
Beautiful Joann and they look gorgeous in your vases.
Love the lavender colors. Still like the music too!
