Beautiful post, Gary! I too wish everyone on the Forum a great Thanksgiving as well. Though I cannot participate in the Forum as much as I used to, I often think of all of you and so glad that you are here, both the veterans and the newbies who share this love for peonies. With all the additions that you guys added to your garden, the coming years will be so exciting. I look forward to see beautiful blooms from everyone's garden next spring.
Gary, what an amazing speed of recovery from your operation! You are so blessed to have such a great doctor and team for your surgery. Was the operation for both knees or just one of the knee? I have been suffering from terrible knee pain as well. At which point did you decide the operation was necessary?
Lavender Hill TP - lovely bloom - can't wait to see it again next year.
