Peonies come in the most beautiful shades: deep reddish pinks, pale and delicate rose colors, electric hot pinks. They look great paired with a graphic black-and-white color scheme, whether you use a bunch in a vase on a table or paint an entire accent wall in peony-inspired pink...

Peonies also just happen to be a perfect feng shui symbol of Love & Relationship. Probably even more so than roses. I love 'em!I was surprised that we had them growing in our yard (the previous owner planted them)...but not doing so well because they really thrive in full sun and ours are shaded by gigantic maple trees.
