hydrangeas and peonies

 
(10x14)


 
(9x12)
I should have titled this post "Things I Can't Grow." They're two of my favorites (actually, it seems whatever's in bloom is my favorite: love the one you're with) but my hydrangeas always wilt and my peonies never bloom.

Friday I'm heading down to DC for a two-day florals workshop ... I'll finish these peonies when I get back!

I love these flowers, Laura--just the right touches of suggestion make them really lovely. I can't wait to see what you do after your workshop. Have fun!

Both are so lovely, Laura. I can't grow any either.

Your flowers are all so delicate and soft. I love the colors as well.

Both gorgeous pieces! I admit that hydrangeas and lilacs are my forever favorites!

I agree with Diana that they're done - the peonies perfectly identifiable and gorgeous!
