« La pivoine est-elle moins sublime du fait qu'elle va faner ? » — Amélie Nothomb, Métaphysique des tubes [Moi, je dis bien-sûr que non!]
It’s peony season! All over Paris, markets and flower shops, as well as my Instagram feed, feature a perfusion of pivones, perhaps the “Frenchest”of flowers. Fortunately, I only have to walk through my own garden or drive through town to enjoy these fragrant beauties.
