The sale went live at midnight, Oregon time. So I stayed up reading until 3 am my time! This our my only peony purchases this year from any seller.

I got 2 tree peonies (Icarus & Ice Age), 1 intersectional (Unique) & 1 herbaceous (Roselette).

Black Friday Shopping, done!

Anyone else buy something?

I looked at 5 am est. Unique was off of the grid already. I got Ice Age and Sonoma Yedo. Only purchases this year. Congratulations Hiyamakki! Nice choices.

I bought Glowing Heart.

Congratulations everyone! I heard from someone else that the bought both Sonoma Halo and Sonoma YeDo.

I did not get anything.

Wow, so cold here, I don't see how you can plant them, Gary. Middletown can't be warmer than Athens. Perhaps it will warm up the second week of December, but now we're 15 degrees below normal. And wind chill, to boot.

It is extremely cold here. I haven't checked the ground though to see if it is frozen. If so, I will overwinter in a refrigerator until spring.

I slept through the start of the sale but jumped on a few hours in. Didn't get anything this year although it was tempting, Adelman's always send such wonderful roots!

Liz - I've always received lovely roots from Adelman's. Too late to order roots here of course if only because I would have to find the planting area and clear two feet of snow from it However, I have just done an order for, amongst other perennial seeds, some species peony seeds. Plant World Seeds (https://www.plant-world-seeds....) has some worth trying, and this is an inexpensive way to do it when pushing the hardiness zone. BTW they ship globally.

I bought Woody 'Sonoma Sisters' from Adelman's. I plan on over wintering in the garage.

Oh, that will be fun to see when it blooms, Frank.
Will you pit it in a large pot first or just overwinter it in the box it came in?

I was just going to leave it in the shipping box...

Val I have a lot of T P seeds let me know if you would like some

I'm sure it will be fine in the box, Frank.
Watch out for mice. I am having way too many this year.

Oscar - very generous of you At the moment, with limited seed space, I am only growing (purchased) species seeds that might push the growing Zone - p.daurica, peregrina and mlokosewitschii for example - have you tried any of these?

Frank, that was the root that had me teetering on the edge of ordering! I'll be watching to see how yours performs!

Liz, I am curious to see how it does as well. Also, I have never over wintered a peony root in the garage...

Valerie, are species peonies difficult to grow from seed? Not being very familiar to the peony world, I had never heard of species peonies or your seed source but I am intrigued. Janet
