Now it is the peonies turn. I hope they make it through. Last year they got a hard rain on them that destroyed the main bloom. Ah well.

Of course they're 2" high right now, maybe I'll get a bloom or two next year?

I love how your successive plantings refer to and complement each other.

I managed to move an oriental poppy successfully but the part of the root that I left behind stayed to make another plant so now I have 2 for the price of one! These days I increase them by taking root cuttings then you have more plants that are the same as the mother plant.Paulinehttp://leadupthegardenpath.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-74682522483344571332011-06-08T01:38:00.216-04:002011-06-08T01:38:00.216-04:00Poppies endlessly delight me with their blooms whe...Poppies endlessly delight me with their blooms whether it's in my garden or someone else's.GirlSprouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029711241687325640noreply@blogger.com
