Here at Robertson’s Flowers & Events, we want to give you a taste of what summer has in store, flower-wise. Does that involve peonies, you ask? Why yes, yes it does.

Peonies are one of our favorite flowers to work with. To us, they just scream summer in a vase, with their manifold layers, each one perfectly painted with color. What makes peonies so precious is that they don’t, in fact, bloom very long each season. But if you treat them right once they arrive in the home, you’ll have them around for a good long time.

It doesn’t get more summer-in-a-vase than the leaf-wrapped one here, holding Peony Sunrise. The hot pink peonies really steal the show, though roses that look like orange creamsicles and little clusters of hydrangea may try. Brought together, this is the essence of the season, the bright pops of color and citrus hues giving off a feeling of energy and excitement.

Do yourself a favor and get some peonies STAT. They’re available in a variety of colors, but the modern vibe of these is really hard to beat. This is just the beginning of summer’s floral bounty, but as starts go, it’s a very strong one.
