So here are my blooms so far
Adelman's Orphan has one bloom open. TURKEYS at several buds off of it! Thought all I had to worry about was deer! Added more fishing line down low around the entire bed, hopefully it will deter them. Otherwise, anyone want a fresh turkey?
crappy pic of Early Scout. The one in that bed looks pretty sad this year, one in front bed isn't even close to opening.
and Nova. I purchased 2 at the same time, planted fairly close together. Neither have done incredibly well here but my peonies tend to increase slower than warmer zones, anyway. 2nd Nova pretty much laid down and quit trying this year for some reason. Both plants only had 2 buds this spring, same as last year.
Roseheart--some of the more established peonies look like they're going to be beautiful this year. This one looks like it'll bust open soon!
Pretty sad 1st pic offerings but the last round of colder weather reset our bloom timeline to about the same as every other year. I still have some tulips blooming, the few the deer left look nice, anyway!
