For the first time, I noticed little tree peony seedlings in my front garden. I thought I saw one last year, but it somehow disappeared, but I wasn't even sure if that was a tree peony seedling.

A couple of days ago, I noticed the first seedling growing from the middle of a small rose in a pot. The pot and the rose overwintered in the porch. The seedling could not develop in that pot and so close to the rose, so I pulled it from below, carefully as I could. It came out together with the seed from which it sprouted. I am sorry that I didn't take pictures because I was rushing to transplant the seedling as fast as I could. It is now in a very, very big pot. Smiling

And then, earlier today, I noticed this little fellow growing very close to the Guardian of the Monastery. In addition, I think there is one more seedling between the Guardian and Snow Lotus. Last year, four three peonies bloomed in the front garden at the same time: Snow Lotus, Guardian of the Monastery, Han Kisoi and Colourful Butterfly.

And that was not all. A couple of hours ago, I was pruning the big climber rose, when I noticed a little seedling growing from the middle of the Holly bush. It was a very dark and dry spot. It could not stay there, so I took it. I was really surprised when I realize that this one has a bit woody stem. Could it be the second-year seedling? I pooled it and transplanted it in the same big pot with the first seedling. The pot is really big, it will not dry out.

What I am supposed to do now? Please advise. I would like to save them and make sure that they survive.
