HOW lovely a peony can be... We have been enjoying the variety 'La Tendresse' and 'Bridal Gown' in a vase for the past couple of days. They both are pure white and so lovely!
It is rather difficult to capture the beauty of Paeonia 'Bridal Gown' in a photo. Had to change the background and also use the flash, to let the white come out better.
But these photos will give an impression of its stunning beauty. The white is a nice contrast with this blue Royal Delft pottery, a 7" Royal Delft vase from De Porceleyne Fles anno 1653. The small blue napkin is one from my beloved Mother-in-law, who handmade an entire set for me with a tablecloth.
She stayed active doing things like that, till she almost was 95!
Treasured things that have become keepsakes.

Here I want to introduce you to the Paeonia 'La Tendresse'. Another beauty in white that I placed inside a Baccarat Shalimar Perfume bottle.
Paeonia 'La Tendresse'
This is the Baccarat crystal perfume bottle on its own.
Do you have peonies?
