That's so nice of you to say Gary. You've been helping us newbies by answering our peony questions for a long time. I also appreciate all the help I got from the moderators and senior members I wrote (with growing conditions more challenging than mine) in choosing the most resilient peonies this season.
Thanks so much LG for enj
ying my New Millennium pics at Adelman's. It's not everyday I take my peony to the beach for you all's amusement 😄. I saw this peony on my tour and if you're this gorgeous, you're coming home with me. So you need a little protection from the elements? I've got you covered.
I can totally see Liz calling her husband:
Honey, I'll be late for dinner. I accidentally bought 20 peonies
Here are the late Itoh pics taken on June 5th. Sonoma Halo's double blooms were about 7-8" with a nice, mild scent at the latter part of its bloom time. Sonoma Yedo, with a 6" bloom and prominent flares, to me, had a pleasing and a little stronger scent. APS lists both at 28" (71cm) tall at maturity. Garden Treasure and Bartzella were a little past peak. Feel free to add more info to help those choosing between these yellow late bloomers.
