The tree paeonias are suppose to be deeper than the herbaceous ones. As I mentioned we did not plant our lemon one deep enough and so its graft parent is also coming up and flowering, which it shouldn't, but they are both happy so we leave them alone. I have a couple of crown imperials, the deep orange ones, that do not flower every year. It is really disappointing having waited to see them for such a long time, and then find they are blind.<br />Hope the weather warms up for you soon.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-81193696659889682512012-05-14T00:16:38.939+01:002012-05-14T00:16:38.939+01:00Wonderful shots of your beautiful paeonias.

One thought I might have planted them to deep and the other said that sometimes plants don't bloom one year and there is nothing to be done. That's the way nature is.<br />With all the rain, wind and cold weather we have, they have only grown about 15 cm. I hope we'll soon get warmer weather so all my plants can grow and bloom.<br />Thanks for sharing from your lovely garden, Rosemary.<br />MetteCameraCruisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941833935383209037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-65908605911234842162012-05-13T22:25:56.511+01:002012-05-13T22:25:56.511+01:00Hello Youngest Son - this is a surprising and very...Hello Youngest Son - this is a surprising and very pleasant visit.

Give it plenty of mulch and love, as long as it is alive, it should thrive.<br />Years ago, I used to admire them, and then I thought, 'what is the use of loving them in other people's garden, you must get some of your own'. Once they are happily established they are a joy.<br />Sweetpeas in the strawberry garden sounds really pretty - I love sweetpeas and strawberries too.<br />ciao♥Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-86655394422290286622012-05-13T20:49:40.708+01:002012-05-13T20:49:40.708+01:00Dear Filip - so pleased that you enjoyed the photo...Dear Filip - so pleased that you enjoyed the photos and thank you.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-32069919088410931682012-05-13T20:48:30.664+01:002012-05-13T20:48:30.664+01:00Dear Paul - do buy yourself some.

I have been trying to grow a herbaceous bush (Paeonia Lactiflora) in my garden, as I used to have a massive one at the old house, but, the man who cuts my grass gave it a "haircut" with the mower, every time it went near it! I could have cried! Eventually, I had to place a barrier in front of the plant, to make sure it didn't get "attacked" every time it tried to grow! It's been there for two years and all I have is three little stems, obviously still in shock, but at least alive!<br /><br />A paeony tree would be gorgeous! I love all your pictures and now I WANT ONE!<br /><br />The weekend is almost over, unfortunately!
