I’ve been able to pick enough peonies – all Duchess de Nemours to fill my favourite green jug. I’ve added a single white Perfumella rose and a couple of Chandos Beauty. Some springs of alchemilla mollis, which is particularly zingy at present.

Ideally the peonies should have been cut a few days ago, but life happened.

Ramble over to Cathy’s to meet the rest of the arrangers and their fabulous vases.
