Keepsake Card - Peak Peonies

Peak Peonies Keepsake Card

A favorite among peony fans! My Peak Peonies bouquet celebrates eight beloved varieties, rich with petal detail in soft pinks and deep maroons.

Inside, the art continues softly behind your message, and each peony is named with a traditional meaning:

• Albert Crousse: grace

• Command Performance: love

• Ellen Cowley: prosperity

• Felix Supreme: respect

• Honey Gold: good luck

• Julia Rose: uniqueness

• Sea Shell: friendship

• White Ivory: tranquility

Flowers often carry several traditional meanings, so I chose each one carefully, so that the whole bouquet reads like a heartfelt wish. Love, good luck, and prosperity make it a beautiful card for a wedding, an engagement, or an anniversary. Friendship, respect, and uniqueness make it just as lovely for a dear friend’s birthday, or for a fellow gardener who counts down the days until peony season.

I drew the original from live peonies grown by a woman-owned grower in New Jersey, spending about 30 hours in black ink and colored pencil on an 18" x 24" sheet. Capturing eight different varieties, each with its own form and color, was a joyful challenge.
