They\u2019re not available year-round, which makes them more precious. Bouquets here usually range from AED 250 to AED 800 depending on the size and design, but honestly, I\u2019ve never regretted the splurge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve gifted peonies for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, apologies, and even simple \u201cjust because\u201d moments. The reaction is always the same \u2014 delight mixed with surprise, because receiving peonies in Dubai or Abu Dhabi feels like receiving a rare treasure.

But with care, they stayed fresh for almost a week, and watching them bloom day by day was magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what I usually do: I trim their stems diagonally, change the water every two days, and keep them in a cool corner away from direct sunlight. With this simple routine, they last 5\u20137 days indoors. I\u2019ve learned to enjoy the process of seeing them open fully \u2014 it feels like they\u2019re slowly revealing layers of beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to know more?
