Does any one have any recommendations for good plants that flower often for cut flowers? I bought my peony bush but so far I've only gotten two blooms out of it and I don't know if I'll get any more. Sad.

An Arrangement
I know ya'll are sick to death of me taking pictures of flowers in my house and yard but I just love them so much! It is my dream (among a million and one other dreams) to one day have a huge flower garden that I can have fresh cut flowers for all the seasons for my house. In the end, I think it saves money when you don't have to buy them from the store. Anyway, I put together this arrangement using things cut from my yard - snapdragons, hydrangeas mint, flowering cilantro and some bush clippings. In addition to looking pretty, the cilantro and mint smell amazing!

Pretty arrangement. I can't believe you have hydrangeas already-- mine are still green. My peonies are all tapped out also! But the ones in a vase on my table smell heavenly. I think probably roses are the way to go if you want something that blooms more than once. I can't stand to do all the maintenance for "real" roses, but the knockout ones (that some people hate, and admittedly, I have to prune the heck out of each fall to keep them in line) do bloom a lot.
