Peonies Starting from Southern Hemisphere

without comments

Original designs with fresh cut peonies are coming into season now in mid November.

Early season pricing is expensive, and I have to select individual stems very carefully to assure high quality.

Peony Bouquet to mark special occasion Also, since these peonies come by air freight, advance orders for original peony designs are necessary.

That means your order needs to be confirmed 3 to 5 days in advance of the delivery date.
