Hahaha! Gita. No worries. I am flying back this Saturday. Wouldn't miss the swap for anything :-). Thank you very much for getting the primroses for me. They look very healthy. Cannot wait to get them into my garden.

The soil in the pictures looked like the red clay that's also very common in mid Atlantic, but actually it was very sandy. Those peonies must have been growing there for a long time and are well established. I really do not know the secrete of growing peonies to that size. Is it just a matter of variety? Maybe others can shine some light on this one.
