Snippet from Grant...
Early morning start today at the Sydney Markets, Miss Poppie and I got our hands on some beautiful local flowers. WOW we managed to pick up some Peonies! They are definitely in my top 10 favs. I totally recommend buying a bunch for yourself they are truly a magnificent sight when they blossom.
