Peony Week

I wish you could smell them.

I’m not really sure why when I see my peony shoots emerge early in the spring the anticipation of peony watch begins to build. This year my buds tortured me by popping a petal then waiting a day to do more.

I think I need to move them next year as they aren’t in a great location, they don’t get near as much sun as they should. I’m nervous as it’ll mean a year or more without flowers of my own. We’re rethinking all the beds and need to make decisions.
