Peonies: Beautiful Varieties for Home and Garden | Jane Eastoe

Just a #christmasflowers photo for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere - its peony time here in New Zealand. I put some plastic holly berries in there to make it more Christmassy 😂😂 ( @CarolynM $20 worth of flowers from the local fruit shop - love our fruit shop! 😀)

Peonies: Beautiful Varieties for Home and Garden | Jane Eastoe

Okay this is less of a weird word and more of a weird pronunciation but I just noticed that my partner pronounces peonies in the weirdest way! He's southern and I'm a transplant so we're always laughing about new differences in language/speaking habits
Which way do you pronounce peonies?
PEE-uh-neez
or
pee-OH-neez

#weirdwords @CBee

monalyisha The first one. 😉 Lifelong New Englander here. 12mo

CBee The second one - I‘m a southern gal 😂 12mo

Bookwormjillk Second one. I live in Virginia now, but learned to pronounce it from my mom in Massachusetts. 12mo

julesG The first. But, I'm German and learned the English pronunciation from a dictionary. 12mo

bthegood I hadn't ever thought about this - and now they both seem right - and not sure which one I naturally say - 😂 12mo

LiseWorks I'm French Canadian so, it pee o neeze for me. 12mo

BookwormM I say pee any but that‘s just me 🤣🤣 12mo

”It always seemed to me that the peony is the very epitome of June. Larger than any rose, it has something of the cabbage rose's voluminous quality; & when it finally drops from the vase, it sheds its petticoats w/ a bump on the table, all in an intact heap, much as a rose will suddenly fall, making us look up from our book or conversation, to notice for one moment the death of what had still appeared to be a living beauty.” -Vita Sackville-West

BookNAround I love peonies! 5y

catebutler @BookNAround I do too! I look forward to this time of year, when they‘re in bloom. 5y

catebutler @erzascarletbookgasm I had to jot this quote down, the first time I heard it. I think it‘s absolutely beautiful, and captures the beauty of peonies. 5y

Freespirit Wow they are beautiful! I think they like a milder climate than I live in. 5y

BookBabe I love them too! ❤️ 5y

catebutler @Freespirit Thank you, they are heavenly! I wish they‘d grow near you! We got so hot this year, they bloomed almost a month early. 5y

catebutler @BookBabe Kindred spirits! 🥰 5y

I couldn‘t help myself, this time of year is always one of my favourites because of these gorgeous blooms! Peonies are my absolute favourite, cliche I know, but honestly if something makes you happy and brings a smile to your face, why not embrace it!

These lovely blooms were at my local Trader Joe‘s, fingers crossed I can go back this weekend and grab another bunch or two. Do you love peonies?

catebutler @Jess7 So pretty! I‘m sure your wedding was gorgeous with these!! 6y

Jess7 Thank you! 6y

Tamra Nothing cliche about a peony or any other flowering beauty. 💜 I‘ll admit that the first dandelion blooms are even a sight for my sore eyes in the spring (in MN anyway). 😆 6y

catebutler @Tamra Ha! So true!! 😂 I always have my eye out for the first tuft of green, especially since our winters are quite long and grey too! 6y

TNbookworm One of my favorites as well💕💕 6y

catebutler @TNbookworm I‘m in good company! ❤️ 6y
