For one short week in June I can find peonies in my local floral shop. It's too hot to grow them where I live and it gets too expensive to travel to France where I first experienced this beautiful flower. I enjoy its faint hint of a fragrance and of course, the bountiful cluster of petals that make this flower look like a cheerleader's pom pom.
