Nice photos. I like peonies and they grow very well here in the Catskills, plus deer don't eat them, but I don't plant any as their flowers don't last more than about a week before their weight tends to collapse the entire plant unless very well supported... for most of the growing season a peony bed is just a jumble of non descript green shrubs that require a lot of weeding. My next door neighbor has over 100 peony plants in a large bed that was planted when the house was first built, about 1890. He's always offering me some but I tell him no thank you, I'd rather enjoy yours. |
