Here's the Itoh peonies(tissue culture) from MB Spring 2015, they're doing really good for me been not quite one year in the ground. I found Itoh do better in the pot than ground, and TP on the other hand, I lost 3 TPs this spring through plant them in pot last Fall.
Here are pictures of all those little plants I received from MB last spring, they are 3x sizes then when I first got them.

The good thing about Michigan Bulb is that they'll replace or credit anything that is mis-marked for several years, don't think you can go wrong there!

Those look great, Yan. You may possibly get some flowers from them next year.

I bought Lollipop and Yankee Doodle Dandy from MB in 2013. This spring, the Yankee Doodle Dandy has a bloom bud, but nothing so far from Lollipop so far. Both plants are healthy, just takes an average of 3 years to bloom in my experience.

My Lollipop is still too small to see any buds. Hopefully it will produce a bloom this year.

WhooHoo! Congratulations Karen! Can't wait to see the bloom! Is this the first bloom anyone here has seen from those tiny MB plants? I have several but mine haven't broken ground yet....

Hi Liz! So exciting! Hopefully it is true to name. I also checked my Strawberry Creme Brulee but there are no buds. I guess there is just not enough roots to form flowers yet. Oh, I so hope that your peonies will start growing soon Liz. I can't wait to see pics of flowers from your Blonde Vision, Pastelegance, and Impossible Dream. Boy, I hope they will give you multiple blooms. Crossing Fingers!

Karen, I'm glad to see your Lollipop is doing so well! I'm looking forward to seeing your blooms.

Here are the 2 Kopper Kettle from MB. The larger one on the left sprouted in the fall, and was protected with the styrofoam cover, and made it through winter. I'll be planting them in the garden in the fall.

I planted mine in spring 2014 so yours may flower in the third year, Annette. Best of luck! I also got Berry Garcia from them last spring. I don't think they will bloom for awhile because the plant I got from MB last year was pretty tiny. Hopefully in 2018.

My Lollipop has about 5 buds. When these bloom, I will post pic of them. Hopefully they will be true to name and look as nice as your Pink Double Dandy, Gray.
