I grow all the plants in my bouquets in my home garden, free of chemicals. 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 whispered a name, too.... "You Can't Make Me!" For the 2-year old in all of us, the rebel, the freedom fighter...who loves flowers and beauty because hey, isn't that what we're fighting for? The freedom and beauty to be yourself? This unique peony comes from a plant that sometimes makes white flowers, sometimes pink flowers, and sometimes, like this one, some of both! This arrangement will last for years. It will look best in a holder or vase similar in size and shape to the one that is pictured. Stem lengths vary. Vase included is a small square-sided sturdy bottle from Aura-Soma. It has some printing in white on the glass. If you'd like just the flower without the bottle let me know :-) 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.
