You're right, Tracey. Most times the pictures displayed by the big peony sellers are enough to convince you that you NNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!! that new peony, sometimes the pics are kinda blah. Sometimes the pics are nice but not nice enough to justify buying a really expensive root. When you see and smell an absolutely perfect example of that peony though--game changer!! I came home after my first APS convention and immediately ordered Sonoma Halo and Pastelegance. I don't know if there are many out there that would top those! There are some expensive ones on my "Wanted" list already--some that if I see them offered I'll burn a hole in a card to buy them, hoping that list doesn't increase dramatically after this trip! If anyone is selling Pastelorama, Sunny Boy or Sonoma Yedo I'll be trying to figure out a way to bring them home in my suitcase, though!
