I've one peony tree but it has not bloomed in at least three years. So sad but won't give up. <br /><br />I love that you and your daughter enjoy gardening together and how very right you are about giving "character" to your garden by taking your time to do things yourself. No wonder your garden looks like a sweet confection - utterly beautiful. <br /><br />Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-81696508268991906552016-05-13T17:24:46.703-04:002016-05-13T17:24:46.703-04:00I think that is the red that did not do well this ...I think that is the red that did not do well this year. There are three buds in a small white jar in the photos above. I only got one bloom last year but it was spectacular. It may be a bit crowded by the others. That Sarah Bernhardt takes up a lot of space when it blooms, the flowers are so big! I love the red peonies and will keep it in mind.

It's an early single "red" but in peony world that's a deep, deep rose! White Flower farm hailed it as the best red! It was found in a field in Topeka, Kansas and introduced by Myron Bigger. He was keen on saying he didn't hybridize peonies, he left that work to the bees because they were better at it!home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-11609056532827742302016-05-13T11:11:42.185-04:002016-05-13T11:11:42.185-04:00If you look closely you will see the small cream p...If you look closely you will see the small cream pitcher you gave me now a vase for the red peonies. It fell on the granite and the handle broke. It is now a bud vase Love it!

I don't think they will do well on a western facing garden. Mine get the sun in the morning until about one. The western side is a problem for everything here in the summer. I do have cannas there and the old English roses. C'est tout! It's even tough on the poor geraniums by the front door. <br />lindaraxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721286284279902181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-30637642308995684022016-05-13T09:27:56.421-04:002016-05-13T09:27:56.421-04:00Despite your modesty, you do have a green thumb.

I also notice that you have some interesting vases into which to put those flowers.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-56255940568499081462016-05-13T07:52:42.231-04:002016-05-13T07:52:42.231-04:00Absolutely gorgeous peonies!

I have really run out of space in my garden(s) but am desperately looking for a spot for one or two more peonies…but I don't think a western facing, hot hot hot spot would do (cannas do well out there.) But I've got to get the Duchesse; it is so unusual. Enjoy your time in the garden: the spring down here is such a special time. And, of course, the bugs haven't appeared yet!Libby https://www.blogger.com/profile/11556491482494737313noreply@blogger.com
