I bought a pink one last year and worried over it all winter. It is just fine and I am happy. I loved the pasque flower pictures. This is an amazing garden you work at, I'll come back and visit you again. <em>Cyd, It is a beautiful tree peony and although the blooms are enormous, the plant is pretty small still... I hope to see you here again - thanks for visiting! -kris</em> What a beautiful tree peony, it looks like it will be huge. I bought a pink one last year and worried over it all winter.

I just learned about this one recently, had never heard of or seen one before, and now they seem to be everywhere. I might have to get one if I can find a white one, the yellow isn't my favorite. Wow, some job you have!?! I can see why you don't always have energy for the home garden, it must be hard after caring for so many plants here! Lovely lovely and I agree with you about spring and the potential and the excitement of it all. <em>Karen, Welcome to Blithewold! - Yes, this is why at home I'm laaaaaazy. You've got to try a tree peony - they're a little tricky maybe but patience will be rewarded. Ours bloom a soft pink and are about the size of a dessert plate - <a href="http://www.blithewold.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/tree-peony.jpg" rel="nofollow">click for pic</a>. -kris</em> Tree peony?
