Peony

DESCRIPTION:
I have many of gardens around my house and one plant that constantly seems to constantly find its way into all of them is the Peony. I think I stopped counting one time when I was up and over 65 of them throughout my yard!
So, in keeping with my love of florals I decided to create a Peony pattern!
