Rose Peonies in Glass & Ginger Jar

Peonies are easy plants that do not seem to thrive in the hot climate and claylike soil in my Alabama yard. When I landscaped my yard I planted four or five Peony bushes which have never once bloomed. One year I planned my visit to my old home in Lee’s Summit Missouri in the month of May just to photograph the Peonies. I brought my material from home to use for the backdrop but had to purchase glass vases and other assessors from the thrift stores.
