Peonies: Where to buy these stunning gems

Happy Friday! I just got done with my workweek and am now relaxing at home.

As I type this, I'm sitting right in front of beautiful pink peonies. They are definitely what I'm loving right now.

For years, I saw them all the time online, especially on Pinterest. But I never really knew where to get them.

They're not often found in grocery stores, at least not in the Phoenix area.

But thankfully, I was on Google to see where I could buy them - and I stumbled upon social media posts about how people love the peonies they purchased at Trader Joe's! Yesss.

So after work the other day, I called the nearest Trader Joe's to see if they carried any. Though, of course, not before going online to figure out how to pronounce the name. Pee-OWN-ees or Pee-UH-nees? I ended up going with the latter.

"Yes! $6.99!" ...Hurrah!

There were just a few options to choose from in store, and I went with bright pink. Naturally.

After the first day, they bloomed and have left my dining/living room area smelling fantastic. And they're just so fluffy, bright and beautiful. I definitely want my wedding bouquet (whenever that happens) to be full of peonies!

I don't often have flowers in my apartment. I don't even have a real plant! But I think I'll now be a regular customer when it comes to peonies at Trader Joe's. At least for now, while they're in season.

Plus I love Trader Joe's products anyway, so I enjoyed purchasing some great groceries. My boyfriend is now also a fan of the flowers and some pita chips I purchased there. So he has already suggested we go back ;)

Success all around. More to come!
