More Peony Posting

Another peony opened up yesterday, this time what Nicholls Gardens calls a "Gold Standard" (Rosenfeld 34). I have a pair of two year old plants, each with about half a dozen buds on it. They form a beautiful creamy-white flower with a yellow button that looks much like the one pictured above, only a slight bit paler. (Some day Santa will bring me a digital camera so I can start posting pictures of my own flowers instead of stealing them from other people.)

That's gorgeous. Maybe the birthday fairy will bring me one of those next year.

The nice thing is that they really are not at all difficult to grow (he said touching wood). And there are all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors of flowers.

I have some lovely pink ones that came with the house and require nothing from me other than staking. I just want that particular variety too. It's very different than any I've seen.
