Bummer!

I\'m beginning to think that I am the kiss of death. I purchases several wonderful roses from Pickering Nursery - and it closed the next year!

In a few years! The thought of waiting that long is awful. Fortunately, with a single exception, I have every peony I want. I am so happy I got the Cornelia Shaylors, which would have been almost impossible to obtain. I am so happy that I placed the order. I have never, never see peonies of this quality, except for another Canadian vendor who has also moved on, leaving the business to his son.

Look at the quality of this Mrs. FDR. From my former home - obtained from Canada. In the last picture, those hulking peonies are Mrs. FDR and Cornelia Shaylor in bud, from Canada. It also explains why I didn\'t think I could take them!
