They are not a common plant since they are hard to come by, not to mention pricey. We are lucky to have them though..my white one is blooming now and I just planted a light pink one and she has 3 new buds..yippee! A shame they do not bloom for long!

Your post has really inspired me to give it a go. Although now after reading this I am wondering if perhaps my garden is a bit too sunny as it receives full sun most of the day. Great for roses and veggies but maybe not for peonies?Cynthiahttp://brambleberriesintherain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-24214027197201374732009-05-18T10:29:00.000-07:002009-05-18T10:29:00.000-07:00Thanks for all the great information on the Peonie...Thanks for all the great information on the Peonies! I have several in my yard. The ones in full sun are doing really well, but I also have 2 in part shade which blooms not as well. I should move the 2 that I have in part shade, but I haven't decided where to put them.

The flower looks so exquisite (enlarged the picture),I can understand that you are absolutely wrapped about this plant. I guess,because it also played a part in your childhood.

Mine are all in morning sun, and I have never pruned them. Maybe that is for flower show size blooms? They are certainly regal plants.

I especially love your opening scene, very evocative.<br /><br />In France where my parents are lots of families who live in flats in towns, but have areas they cultivate up in the hills around.
