Shannon, my best friend lost her granddaughter at birth last fall due to hospital complications. We're putting a memorial garden together for mt friend's daughter, the baby's mother. They live in Texas so I've only been able to participate by sending roots so far, will visit and help in person next fall. Your comment about finding a peony with your friend's name resonated with me because I've been searching for the same thing for baby Sophia Elizabeth. Haven't found anything yet but did get an unnamed tree peony seedling from The Tree Peony Garden in her preferred colors. We're working to get different bulbs and perennials to keep something in bloom from early spring to late fall. I want to root some cuttings from plants in my garden and take a bunch of peony divisions to make it a more personal contribution, so far I've just sent things I've ordered from online.
