F is for......... Flowers

Last weekend, whilst up in Yorkshire, I treated myself to a lovely bunch of flowers.   



Having popped into Morrisons to buy a newspaper, I saw bunches of 5 lovely pink peonies for sale for just £3, which I thought was incredibly good value.  They were in tight buds at the time and have since slowly unfurled. 


 

I love these big blousy flowers, but rarely buy them for myself, as they can be quite expensive.   I've even tried growing them, but without much success.

They were also selling some lovely greenery that you could buy by the bunch, so I bought some of this too, for just £1.50.  It is so rare that I buy flowers that it feels totally self indulgent, but I don't mind when they are such a reasonable price.  We all need a little luxury from time to time.

  2. And do the ones you bought smell gorgeous? We have a peony in the garden that does not have a scent at all but DD's pink peony smells wonderful.

  4. I have never seen peony flowers for sale in a supermarket before. We have a couple of peony plants in our garden which have been absolutely beautiful though I wasnt tempted to bring them indoors!
