Yesterday was a perfect Spring Day.

I do want to say that if you don't grow Rose Reverence you are missing out on a beautiful peony that is a great early season bloomer. It's stems are great, and it opens it blooms together. I have it where I can see it out my kitchen window and it is gorgeous! I didn't cover it in any of my last frosts and the freeze and it is looking great.

Here is is from yesterday

It doesn't have a strong fragrance, but it doesn't have the icky fragrance that Coral Charm has.

Beautiful, LG and Gary! I am adding Rose Reverence to my to order list for this fall based on your recommendation, LG. It sounds like a perfect peony! I love that it is an early bloomer whose buds have no problem with freeze and frost and that it is a beautiful double. Thanks for sharing this info.

Beautiful. Today I had to move my Shirley Temple peony to a sunnier spot. It has not done anything. I still have another peony that I planted last year, I thought it was dead, pulled it up and it had 2 eyes, it still has not come up. I hope I didn't damage it.

Gary - where did you get your lemon chiffon from?

I am waiting to see if my lemon chiffon blooms single again this year before trying a different nursery.

I'm loving all of these gorgeous blooms! I remember when Lemon Chiffon cost $300+ dollars!

Here are a few blooms from the new garden. It's like seeing my old friends!
