(I thought I blogged about it but guess I didn't).
I wasn't too sure what the reason was that they were passing them out, but I was happy to receive one.
It had a spicy fragrance and was really bright pink!
About this time of year is when you see them in the flower shops.
I went to my favorite shop in the neighborhood and bought myself one.
Most flower shops sell these for 600-yen plus! for one stem!
At my favorite shop, they were only 200 yen (tax included)!
I thought it wouldn't bloom, but it turned out, really pretty and HUGE!
Do you have shakuyaku where you live?

it didn't last too long V, maybe 2 or 3 days after it bloomed.
Take care!

I don't see them much around here or it could be that I just never took notice. I'd love to try to grow them but I think it's a large bush-type plant?
Rowena, I think you are right about it being a large bush type of plant.
Jalna, it was :)
Take care you two.

Very pretty Kat! We don't get the cold temps we need to grow peonies around these parts; though I think folks might have hybrids
Kirk, I wonder what kinds of hybrids are out there!
Take care.
