PEONY SEASON. Almost unbearably lush and utterly intoxicating, there are no flowers more eagerly anticipated than peonies. And their weighty blossoms, coaxed open each morning by the warm sun, are a gardener’s sweet reward. There is no better way to celebrate this harbinger of summer than with a mass of uninterrupted blooms casually arranged in your favorite vessel.

Arrangement created by and available through M on the Square, located at 259 Market Square in Lake Forest, 847-604-4255, monthesquare.com. Vessel, napkins, and basket also available through M on the Square.
