A few days ago, I posted some photos showing the big peony arrangement that I successfully stored in the fridge for about a month and talked about how peony blooming season is so short. In addition to cutting and storing some peonies for later this Summer, I also cut and put out on the counter a couple of vases full of peonies when they were blooming.
I've been working on the Disneyland Roses a bit more this early Summer, too. Paying attention to them water-wise. And, spraying them with both an insecticide and fungicide as often as I remember to do out there. That's produced Floribunda rose stems that are *knock wood* holding more leaves and having less pests than last year.
One of my 2025 goals was to continue to have countertop arrangements with cut flowers. Here's a round-up of a number of cut flowers we've had on our counter the past six weeks or so.
We have
white double 'Duchesse de Nemours' peonies in the back. And some deep purple peonies that we inherited next to them.
The Sarah Bernhardt peonies are always stars:
