This is the 8th in a series of corsages / boutonnieres that I am making of this year’s flowers, grown here at our Victorian Gothic black dirt farmhouse, The Blawnut House, in the Hudson Valley, in New York. I grow the flowers, photograph them, laminate them, and turn them into pins!
This is an Itoh peony, a hybrid of herbaceous and tree peonies named for the Japanese horticulturalist, Toichi Itoh, who successfully bred the two in 1948.
The pin measures 5 inches at its widest diameter. There is a double center that makes it slightly three-dimensional with a stainless steel lapel pin fastener. Each pin is signed, numbered, and dated. Collect them all.
