Peonies really are the most beautiful flower. They are the single-handed best thing about Spring and make the months from October through December bearable, despite summer heat and end-of-university stress. Those waxy leaves, those blushing petals, the way they unfurl slowly over the week, suspended in a vase perched somewhere full of light. What I love most is that, unlike some other flowers, you only need a couple of stems and suddenly everything seems so much better. Some flowers have to be multiplied to be enjoyed - a sea of lavender, oceans of daisies, endless, endless stems of ruby red poppies. But peonies are different. Just one single peony is enough, it really is. One plain stem stuck in an old milk bottle or tall vase is enough to spread a honeyed smile thick across your face. Although, having said that, they're also living proof that there really can't be too much of a good thing.
