I have Anika on order with Warmerdam (along with Dark Eyes and Peppermint). I got my Adelman order last week (Rhapsody and Courage).

Looked and Brooks has Rose Heart, know this one is always in demand! Also has Nelda's Joy, I'll need to replace mine but will wait until I'm actually there for the whole growing season. The herbaceous hybrids haven't been doing as well as I thought they would.

Pulled the trigger today with Halifax Perennials for the smaller roots of Mother's Choice, Moon over Barrington and Nancy Nicholls. There were some tempting ones, but I decided to limit myself. I still have not seen previous year ordered peony blooms.

Great choices, Alex! Hope you get blooms next spring!

Good for you, Alex! I look forward to seeing the blooms.

Adelman has Angel Emily now. I do not remember they offered it this year...

Wow! Thanks Alex! That is a good price for Angel Emily.

I was browsing peony websites because I am thinking of buying one more Guardian of the Monastery, but no luck. My Guardian doesn't look good this fall and I worry that it might not show up next spring. I cannot imagine my life without the Guardian. I have to make sure that I get one more.

Do not worry, Jasmin. It will be fine next spring. Or at least one graft should succeed. It may take a few years to start blooming, though.

I ordered 5 peonies from Wild earlier this year, a spring planting and I think they are doing ok (alive). Did not order any roots for the traditional fall planting, but I may be tempted if Adelman has a year ending sale... I really like their own root woodies.

Brooks has a 20% off sale, but I have most of what they offer. However, Brave Heart did tickle my plantsy...

Hi Frank,
Do you thinkWild is sending better roots now that P Allen Smith is involved or do they look the same?

I went to Brooks' website and did not see Brave Heart. What color is it?

I see Rose Heart is on there. That would be a good one to snag if you didn't have it.

Tubers from Wild looked as usual. Next year maybe I will be able to determine how many are true to name:)

Brave Heart is rose pink. Here is a li nk to it on Brooks

Those roots look nice, Frank. Let's hope they are all true to name!

Did anyone order from A & D? When do they usually ship out?

I know several folks who have placed orders with A & D. Liz contacted them a week ago and they let her know that Don had passed away this past Spring. I had contacted them in early October and they said they would ship my order in early November. They never mentioned Don's passing
in my email.

Given the situation, I would make an inquiry.

Brooks is offering 20% off.

Thanks LG. I'll give them till the second week of November before calling. The ground doesn't freeze until mid December here anyway.

If you ordered anything rare from A&D you'll probably be refunded. My email said the Don knew where all of the specialty stuff was and that he didn't have it mapped out so that someone could take over easily. I just told Keith to hold my order until next year, if he figures it out next spring great, If not we'll deal with it then when he's more able to figure things out.

There is a note on the A&D homepage that says they are only shipping to addresses within the state of Washington...maybe that is new orders?
