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.
I love flowers too, and they give me so much pleasure when I do have them. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeletethats very true. to be honest i forget to pick them even if i do have them in the garden.
DeleteAnd 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.

sadly they`re not scented. can`t have everything i guess.
DeleteThey are gorgeous - big & blowsy is perfect ! Love them with the greenery.
ReplyDeleteOur local flower shop has closed for holidays- I'm wondering if I missed some bargains !
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!
ReplyDeletei'm sure they look much nicer on the plant. since buying these i've also seen them for sale in asda for the first time too. must be a new departure for them.
DeleteBTW in our Charity shop, we have exactly the same Navy Boden dress you bought recently !
ReplyDeletewhat a coincidence. i've just been looking at some in white stuff, same design but a print fabric for over £50 new.
DeleteJess & I love White Stuff especially their sales
