Composition Marshmallow

Such a quantity of peonies makes the arrangement a self-sufficient gift for March 8 or May 9. It is appropriate for congratulating a loved one, a colleague, or a friend—those to whom you want to present not just flowers but a true floral feast. The enormous size and soft texture bring a smile and a desire to examine every bud.

To keep cut peonies fresh longer, trim the stems at an acute angle and change the water in the vase every two days, adding a special flower preservative. Keep the arrangement away from direct sunlight and drafts—this way the petals will stay firm and won't fall off prematurely.
