I’m a flower thief, and I plead guilty. I’m also the first to admit it. Yes, I stole my own peony from one of 6 peony bushes growing in my yard.
I love pink and I love their scent. I just couldn’t help myself. Would you believe me if I tell you that I just stole more?
There is nothing I like better than scented flowers in my home.
Do you keep fresh flowers in your home?

I do! I keep fresh flowers on hand all the time. Every chance I get I bring fresh flowers home to my girlfriend. Not only do they brighten her day, but like you said they fill the home with their fresh scent!

@DianneN I would love to have a yard full of flowers so that I could pick homegrown flowers for inside the house! But my yard is heavily shaded from all the oak and magnolia trees.

@moffittjc Such beautiful trees! We have lots of shaded areas and sunny areas. Unfortunately, the deer are my problem.
I was outside a little while ago and caught them chomping on some flowers.

@DianneN Thanks! We planted this roll with embedded flower seeds . . . it's a mix of who-knows-what so we'll see what happens - little sprouts are coming out right now. I am ready with little teeny vases - in case only little teeny sprouts are the end result

@LowRiderX I do have many more still about to bloom.
The virus will take a long time to leave, but I will pick other flowers and weeds if I have to.

@DianneN But luckily you have plenty of it in the yard. This will go away with the virus, so he will continue to buy you flowers again

@cmoneyspinner I heard all about it. My older son had plans to visit with his wife and the kids in March, but had to cancel of course.

Stop thief!!
I’m allergic to flowers, so no. I had to specify that they give me an artificial lei when I left Hawaii.

I believe you that you stole more peonies for your home. I can't remember if I have smelt the fragrance of peonies before.
When I was in my Philippines garden, I kept on harvesting fresh flowers from my garden as I have plenty there. Our passing by neighbors were already saying to my cousin and nieces that we have already a forest in front of our house. That we should cut some plants. I said that it is my English country garden and it is located on my land. Here in Germany, I have only orchids, petunias, aloe vera and other tropical plants inside my home.

@DianneN The Hibiscus grows in any weather but the jasmin needs lot of sun and rain. In India it grows in abundance and the favourite flowere of women and young girls because of its fragrance

@jayanth_77 That is soooooo pretty. Perhaps I should say beautiful!!!!!
We can grow hibiscus here, but the deer gobble them up.
Thanks for sharing that!

@DianneN Yes it is hard now to buy flowers. Good thing you have your own garden with so many good flowers around.

@m_audrey6788 That's true, but I don't have too many flowering plants. When I run out, I will pick flowering weeds.

Such a beautiful and lovely pink flower you stole and its OK as you did from your garden. Here flowers becomes unfresh after some days so we not take flower at home. I love to see flower and thus like to take photography of it.
