Since mid-March my mum has been furloughed from her job (in a 350-person residential home with a 60-bed care/nursing home, which went into lockdown a week before Boris-lockdown and has so far had no Covid-19 cases) and has been doing voluntary work - phoning isolated people three times a week to check they are OK. This thank-you outburst of peonies was at her house when I arrived yesterday. She put them in a box and we brought them with us. One of the boxes I drove to my mum's for storage was my vases, so here are her peonies in a bucket on the dining room floor. I didn't know buckets could be such a good vase substitute.
