Oooo hydrangeas are my favourite, and I like the vase too, very tempting!
you can also take them out as they are not in the still water either

I cant honestly see a few workers at Peony HQ being able to fulfil thousands of order from QVC and get them despatched in 5 -7 days; unless they get made up in China months beforehand, then shipped over by the container load.
Yup. I'd fallen for the Made in England on the Rutley Estate spin but was looking at Peony's range at John Lewis and it clearly states "This item features stems from China whilst glass and ceramics are sourced from Europe." I don't think we'd ever see QVC being that open and honest. If Peony's fake flowers are from China no wonder the quality varies so much.
I also think the quality of Peony has gone downhill. I bought a couple of arrangements during the early days they appeared and was very impressed as were visitors so I decided to watch a couple of the recent shows as I was looking for a house-warming present. Went for 706890 Set of 3 Peonies & Foliage in Peony Crested Vases but what a let down! Firstly, the delivery wait was appalling (although it was FREE P&P costs with this item) but when I opened the box I couldn't believe the poor quality of the foliage, it was "stand out" plastic that's for sure. I wouldn't have wanted them myself let alone give them as a gift! There were loose bits in the box too which proved the pieces had not been assembled well. Needless to say they went back but, even though it was obvious the item was faulty, I had to pay the return costs myself and then let QVC know the charges. I was told the returns procedure had recently been changed for Peony products and now customers have to send unwanted items direct to The Floral Company but NO prepaid label would be issued.....totally unacceptable for faulty goods! I know, I should have insisted the parcel would be collected but I was having a bad day and not in the mood for confrontation.
I had this, but also had some fab advice here to contact Peony directly.
They were great - offered to pick it up or replace it. Replied within a few hours, too. I'd definitely rather deal with them than Q now.
Any ideas on price of this one please?
Any idea on price yet please ?
Just seen it on FB, £54.98 incl P&P - I'm out, it's 8 stems but still too pricey for me
