Before/After Photos - Peony Miracle!

[Tulirose]

In the Fall of 2000, I transplanted peonies from my mom's yard to mine. When Spring of 2001 came, the peonies grew but their growth was stunted and their buds dried out.

Happy news for the Spring of 2002. I had decided to let them adjust to their new environment one more year before doing anything and I was rewarded with the following.

I had twelve beautiful blossoms this year. Hoping next year brings me more.

The Peony looks GREAT! I had a plant suprise me this spring by snapping out of a deteriorating mode. Has gone on to thrive and bloom beautifully. Some times it pays to just wait.
