My Own Peonies


Yesterday at a store, I balked at the cost of a bunch of cut peonies.  I couldn't believe that a bunch, which contained five peonies, cost $13.  They were quite beautiful, but I don't know if I would have paid $13 for five peonies.


I'm so glad and blessed to be able to grow some at home so that I didn't have to buy it at the store (I actually cut three of the white peonies to put in my home).  It took a lot of patience, waiting for the plant to get bigger and be able to bloom.  This year, one of the plants has finally established itself and has put forth a lot flowers.  I love the smell of the peonies and I really appreciate the fact that I'm able to grow my own.

What would you like to grow, rather than pay for at the store?
