Jerry, Roselette and Early Scout have a lot of pips, your going to have some good looking plants this year.
Pwin, I'm sorry to hear you've lost a peony, hopefully the vendor will replace it for you. It's so frustrating when you take tke time to plant it properly, and it doesn't show up. I've had to dig up some of my peonies when I find them struggling, potted them, and babied them till they do better, before planting them in the garden. I've also lost a few herbaceous plants as well, and when I dig in the area, I don't even find any rotted roots.
Calin, your buds look really healthy, hopefully they'll continue to swell and bloom for you this year.
