Before we moved to Seattle, I’d heard of peonies, but I don’t think I’d ever seen one. When we arrived here in June of 1999, we spent a month in temporary housing just a few blocks from Pike Place Market. During those first days, when Paul was at work and I was at loose ends, I spent more than a few afternoons wondering the market. One of my favorite discoveries was these lush, fragrant pompoms. I’m not generally into frilly and pink, but I make an exception for peonies.
