I have one spindly little plant, struggling to survive. My friend brought one to work to give to me, and left it in her car all day. It's alive, but just barely. Hopefully by next year I may see a bloom or two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683241997705053264.post-72625820697874972882009-06-25T17:39:46.371-04:002009-06-25T17:39:46.371-04:00Oh, and Lynn, Google "Coral Charm", I am...Oh, and Lynn, Google "Coral Charm", I am sure you will be able to find it.

It could all come and go with me head (and eyes) down, weeding and weeding, and never see the show. I am so happy to share the "show" with you and others. It shouldn't be wasted.Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683241997705053264.post-79233354160940486912009-06-25T08:19:45.319-04:002009-06-25T08:19:45.319-04:00Barbee, OMG, thousands of peony buds..and the anti...Barbee, OMG, thousands of peony buds..and the anticipation every spring!

The flowers in the seceond photo on my blog are Nectaroscordum siculum,(the ones with the bellshaped flowers). They like it moist and will tolerate a bit of shade. The purple flowers that look like bursting fireworks are Allium Christophii. They thrive in full sun.Norma Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12403421235388770309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683241997705053264.post-14462295637123688582009-06-23T14:46:35.891-04:002009-06-23T14:46:35.891-04:00Hi Courtney, and, thank you.

They always remind me of my paternal grandmother. She had a row of double white ones alongside the driveway.Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683241997705053264.post-84550466945600888832009-06-23T11:27:12.597-04:002009-06-23T11:27:12.597-04:00They are gorgeous!

You probably already know that it is a short lived perennial. Hopefully it will bloom next spring then make seeds for you so you can have more. I don't know if it needs another one to pollinate it. There are many juvenile ones around here that didn't bloom this year, but I expect them to next spring. The problem with Dame's Rocket, in my opinion, is the weedy look it has when not in bloom. I think most of my dark purple has died out. I need to order some seeds and get those genes back in the family.Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683241997705053264.post-59171124123750646492009-06-22T20:20:18.210-04:002009-06-22T20:20:18.210-04:00Oh, Barbie...those pictures are beautiful.I have n...Oh, Barbie...those pictures are beautiful.I have never seen so many.

A woman told me she wanted a start of a certain one. When she described it, I didn't recognize it at all. She turned to our friend we bought the place from and asked her about it. Mary said, "Oh, I took that one with me." Seems it was one with small blossoms that they all loved to use in flower arrangements. <br /> As far as favorites: You've <i>got</i> to be kidding. There is no way I could select any favorites. As the saying goes: It is the one I am looking at at the time. Coral Charm is the only one I know by name. Good luck with yours. There can never be too many. There are at least 200 varieties. I enjoyed looking at them on this website. http://www.peonygarden.net/about.htmlBarbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683241997705053264.post-77004353763394064632009-06-22T10:48:16.952-04:002009-06-22T10:48:16.952-04:00Your peonies are gorgeous!
