It was bred in the United States in the 1960s and is still one of the best-loved white peonies in the world, because of the size and shape of its blooms: big, rounded and cupped, exactly like the name.

That is how Bowl of Cream begins. Over the next few days the buds loosen, show a soft ivory, and then open into full, cupped, creamy white blooms packed with layer upon layer of petals. Bowl of Cream was bred in the United States in the 1960s and is still one of the best-loved white peonies in the world for exactly this reason: the flowers are big, round and generous, like the name. With twenty stems, every day looks a little different, and by the end of the week you have a dome of cream that no single bunch of roses can match.

Over the next few days the caps fall back, the pink deepens, and the buds open into big bomb-shaped blooms: a ring of broad outer petals cupping a dense dome of finer petals in the middle. Monsieur Jules Elie was introduced in France in 1888 and is still one of the most loved pink peonies in the world because of that full, generous shape. With twenty stems, the vase changes every morning, and by the end of the week you have a cloud of pink that fills the room.

If you do not have one big enough, split the bouquet between two vases. Trim the stems at an angle, add the flower food sachet, and remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Change the water and re-trim every two days, and keep the flowers out of direct sun and away from ripening fruit. To coax a slow bud, roll it gently between your fingers or stand the stems in slightly warmer water for an hour. With this care, peonies last around seven days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwenty Pink Peonies for the Big Moments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty pink peonies belong at the centre of a celebration.
