I tried an experiment last year with picking peonies when they were about golf-ball to base-ball size, stripped the leaves, wrapped and refrigerated them for 2 weeks to delay the blooming time. Though obviously not as good as freshly picked, it was acceptable.

These in the vase are freshly picked, and I took the photo outside because the coloring is so much more natural.
