The ones that are not sent are the nice ones in my list. Cora Stubbs, Roselette, Pink Derby, Maestro, Raspberry Ice, Lavender, John Harvard, Salmon Glory, Merry Mayshine, Myrtle Tischler, Mammoth, Hansina Brand, Serene Pastel and Mary Eddy Jones. Somebody at the Peony Yahoo Group loves Mary Eddy Jones so I ordered it and got disappointed.

I read about your Parkland order got cancelled. It is a big disappointment for sure. If you order again from them next year, maybe this time they could fulfill it.

My wish list is not that long. I would like to grow those fragrant oldies like Philomele, etc. The varieties that are bred by Calot mostly are fragrant. I still have a bit of the garden that wasn't touched. Hostas and lilies grow there. I could not do everything in one season. As what they say "Rome wasn't built in a day.". Two of my husband's friends came over to help me. One dug the hostas and one did the rototilling. I rented one for the job. I need to add some garden soil in the new tilled beds. Hoping it will be done this midweek as it is getting colder.

I will definitely order from Bannister again if they are still in business and the roots are still half priced.

I have to wait for the CC statement to arrive to know how much Neva charged me. I have an estimate but would like to see the actual amount and the receipt.

Thank you for the tip. I will plant Cytherea in a raised bed that I cleared out and ready to be planted with peonies and lilies. The lily bulbs I dug from the garden are stored in peat moss right now. I want to plant them at the same time with the peonies.
