Peony-June

Peak peony-blooming time and longevity depends a lot on the temperatures of June.This year's moderate to slightly cooler temps will hopefully vibrantly extend the much anticipated lifespan of our beloved peony! Here is an attempt to sharea bit of pink petal-pleasure with you.Enjoy! Many a face has been buried deep in your perfumed bloomMany a burdened carried then lost in your ruffled loomMany a heart has been lifted, and many a witness awedAnd many a bouquet gifted straight from the hand of God Many a poem has thundered, many a poet been bornMany a marvel wondered while praising thy lovely formMany a prayer has been murmured, and many a care set freeIn thee, plush harbinger of summer, in thee, pretty peony Many a gladness kindled, and many a sadness cheeredMany an atheist humbled by many a Beauty endearedWhere many a bud has broken and many a posy has strewnMany a petal-pink token of many a peony-June © Janet Martin
