It’s time to throw a farewell Peony Party…The Hamptons peony season is coming to an end. Like a stunning supermodel these beauties take over a room the moment they enter, and always leave too soon. If you haven’t already, be sure to cut all of the peonies remaining in your garden this weekend so they will live another four days inside the house. Here’s some snaps of my peony prowess from my Hamptons garden at our home, Maple Shade, along with some insp. ideas on how I arrange them inside our home. Until next season…

Did you know that a Peony represents these ideas & values?
1. Wealth: when the peony bushes in your garden are full of flowers then you will have a good fortune ahead.
2. Romantic love, with a particular focus on love between two strangers.
3. Beauty in all forms, yet all parts of the peony can be poisonous, especially when taken in excess
4. Bashfulness & shame
