Cut Peonies in season. Pink and white. Usually bloom mid-April to mid May. You are bidding on one dozen, freshly cut Peonies.
Peonies is a very beautiful flower.One flower has many petals and when it blooms, it blooms real beautifully. That's the reason why peonies are suitable for wedding bouquets.
Peonies come in many colours, but the common ones are red, white and pink.
Peonies are among the most popular wedding flowers, flowers that bride-to-bes usually choose for their bridal bouquet.
The type of peonies used as wedding flowers may vary. Basically any type is suitable. They can be herbaceous, intersectional or the tree type.
Why peonies are famous as wedding flowers is because of their bloom. They bloom beautifully, and they can be classified by the type of their bloom, too.
They can be Single type bloom, Japanese type, Semi-double, Bomb-type and Full-double type. Their varieties depend on how they bloom. Let's look at some of the examples.
SINGLE Bloom The single bloom peony is a flower with a few single broad petals in a single row. The row of petals surrounds a group of stamens filled with pollens.
Varieties of this type include Sea Shell, Krinkled White and Athena.
JAPANESE Bloom For this type, the stamens have broadened and become larger. It is the sign that the doubling process have started.
Madame Butterfly and Nippon Beauty are examples of this type
SEMI Double Bloom The semi-double bloom, more petals can be seen produced but the guard petals (initial petals) still can be differentiated.
Examples are Coral Charm and Miss America. (Quite interesting names!)
BOMB Type Bloom More petals can be seen in the bomb type. Plus, the guard petals can also be seen.
Raspberry Sundae and Red Charm are examples of this type.
FULL DOUBLE Bloom The full double bloom type completes the doubling process. All the stamens has become petals and the guard petals can no longer be differentiated.
Varieties include Gardenia, Kansas, Tourangelle.
