Beautiful blooms, Dianne!!!!

Annette, I was also amazed by the size of Fina's roots last fall, have already put in an order for this fall! I've never ordered from OHG before, only discovered them last summer after seeing a reference to them on this forum. Their prices seem to be pretty good, plan to look at what they're offering in June. Looks like the root sizes are similar to Gilbert Wilde? I know a lot of people don't like Gilbert Wilde but I still order from them every year! I'm trying to identify a bunch that I got from them that were mislabeled (possibly by them, possibly by me!) but their roots grow well and I've never gotten one that was rotten or questionable health. I did label all of my new ones from them last fall though after reading about their reputation for mislabeling roots. Some complain about their size too but mine have always been comparable to Adelman's and others.

Speaking of bouquets, does anyone have favorite flowers to go with cut peonies? I personally like mock orange and rocky mountain penstemon. Someone posted a pic with peonies blooming beside false indigo last year and it was gorgeous, too. What do you all think?
