Roots are out of the box and in assorted containers to soak before taking pics and planting! Ipad is charging, too, hopefully it'll be good by the time I want to start with photos....Sure do wish Gilbert Wild would put a tag on the peony root instead of just labeling the bag. Makes it hard to soak them all and keep the names straight. I had to scrounge suitable containers all over the house to get them done at the same time.
Only damage was to one from La Pivoinerie D'Aoust, Madame Emile Galle has tons of eyes but only one feeder root is still attached. Don't know how many were attached when it was shipped because there seem to be too many detached roots to all belong to the one....I'll plant it anyway, of course, but was wondering if I should cut off part of the crown with the eyes. What do you all think?
