Perfect timing. I was overwhelmed by the profusion of peonies at last Saturday's Market in Edmonds, all local growers. The gorgeous array of colors, Coral Charm among them although I didn't know the name at the time. You are so right about their fleeting beauty. Like local strawberries, we need to fully appreciate them while they are here.

Time to research whether I can grow peonies in North/west Berkeley. Pale coral is my new favorite color for flowers. I planted some "Cameo" yarrow in my garden (in a bed with lavender, penstemon, and lambs ear, plus Desdemona and Wollerton Old Hall roses). I'm utterly smitten. I was also walking past a flower stand yesterday and they had pale peach toned statice and straw flowers. I might need to find space for some of these as well in the garden.
