The Fuchsia Tree Peony was a gift.I love peonies and have begun sharing various versions of this beautiful bloom, beginning with the 'Coral Queen Peony' in my online school. They are fabulous on their own in a bud vase, and extraordinary in clusters or mixed with roses and ranunculus. The difficulty is that some of them have A LOT of petals which can make it challenging to teach in a given time frame. Enter this gorgeous tree peony, a gift from my neighbour.
This peony has a beautiful, detailed center and outstanding colour. But most of all, just the right amount of petals to work with to create her fluffy appearance. In addition, this peony is packed with a lot of paper flower techniques. She has 2 rings of fringe in her center, paper colouring, characteristic cutting and shaping of the petals, and as always, tips on keeping the underside of the flower from becoming bulky. She has it all and did I mention that colour!
