That's funny, LG; I got some of my first peonies from K-Mart as well, Martha Stewart brand! Mine were a BARGAIN, found 5 or 6 in a clearance bin in July or so for $0.25 each. Also bought several $0.50 roses but my dog destroyed them. All except 1 remained at our first house here in CO, I did manage to divide one and brought it with me, a large white single.
Nice, graycrna4u. I'm going to miss Tree Peony Garden.
