The weather hasn't been very nice. Cold, windy and rainy, but I did managed to still get some yard work done. I did some weeding, and potted up 6 more plants for the sale. I've now hit 300, as long as they all 'take'. And here's some things blooming in the garden....
These are Tree Peonies. They bloom a few weeks earlier then the herbaceous ones. The difference between them are the tree peonies grow from a woody frame work like a shrub instead of dying back to the ground each year.

I love tree Peonies for there massive size. They can get 6 feet tall in their old age. Most of mine are around 3 ft tall.

They also come in colors you don't see in the Herbaceous ones. Like this red and white bi-color.
And they are larger than the herbaceous ones. Look at his one compared to my hand....
It's a very light delicate pink. If you don't have any and have the time to wait for them to grow, they will reward you with spectacular blooms.I also moved another 100 plants up next to the garage as I try to condense all my plant sale plants to one area instead of all over the yard. Boy, that's a lot of hauling!
And the work week looks to be very busy. So time to hop in the shower and get going!
My Biltmore photos are prettier. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI believe I've said it every single growing season, but here goes again: My top three: 1. Peonies 2. Lilacs 3. Iris
ReplyDeleteThey look very much like something else that I just cannot think of. The pictures of y'alls garden is always a site to see though.
ReplyDeleteFinally had a moment to look at blogs. Gorgeous flowers, bro. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That thing is huge! LOL-- Randy
ReplyDeleteHoly #*@! They are gorgeous and huge! I don't think I've ever seen these before. I am pretty sure they do not grow here in SoCal.
