Itā€™s PEONY season yā€™all! Prepare to get sick of seeing them šŸ¤­šŸ˜‚šŸŒø

Some things I like to do when clipping any flowers areā€¦

Having a vase with water near by so they can immediately do in water after clipped.

Sharp clean āœ‚ļø so they donā€™t spread disease

Cut them on a bias so they can drink up the water easily

Clip in the morning so thereā€™s less of a chance of bringing in hitchhikers šŸœ and I give them a gentle shake before bringing them in.
