I grow all the plants in my bouquets in my home garden. I naturally dry each blossom individually indoors (no microwave or gel), or leave them to weather and pick them before winter. The plant spirits love to create beauty and joy for you so they help with the flower arranging! They whisper a name, too. This arrangement of 15 dry peony flowers will last for years. It will look best in a holder or vase similar in size and shape to the one that is pictured, a quart mason jar. The photos are of two views so you can see most of the flowers. You will receive the actual flowers pictured. Stem lengths vary. Vase not included. You can use these flowers on their own or make them the foundation for a larger arrangement. The bold reds and pinks will complement other flowers of gold, purple, white, orange or blue, along with fillers in greens, browns or beige. Note: because I care deeply for Nature and the environment, I reuse packing materials such as boxes, envelopes, bubble wrap and paper. The only peanuts I use are the compostable kind :-) I hope you will be happy with what you purchased from me. If you aren’t, please contact me so we can figure out what is possible for a better outcome.
