Scarlet, that is a wonderful story. I would probably drool seeing a row of NM. It really is my favorite Itoh.
I hope you do make a road trip and see more peony nurseries! That's a good way to find overlooked varieties. Liz needs to post a photo of her rental car after an APS Convention several years ago. There were pots of peonies stuffed into it like a clown car!
