I won't bore you with a bunch of pictures of pips, but I wanted to show you the two that spent a year in a walnut bed (Mrs. FDR and Festiva Maxima from Old House Gardens - huge roots I thought I had destroyed, and Burma Joy, which did not even emerge from the soil last year because I moved it to a location that was too shady. It is a few years old, and it shows it in the advanced stage of leafiness that it is displaying. These are actually on a shadier part of my back yard. There are openings in the trees such that these get sun all year round. Good thing, too, because I got so carried away ordering peonies this year that there was NO WAY I could fit them all in the front. They are in my front yard and parkway, and I can't put them in one long bed because of the walnut tree. I'm thrilled. |
