Beautiful. I think I'm going to get myself a few more peonies.

These peonies came from an 18th century garden my sister had when she lived on Long Island. The house was a sea captains house complete with a gardener who took beautiful care of the flower beds for many years. We thought they might have come from the Orient but we really don't know. When it was time for my sister to divide them I was standing right there with a shovel. I've transplanted them to 3 houses so far and would never move without them.
This year the rain spoiled the grand show but I was able to cut a few for the house and take a few pictures between the rain drops.

Ahhh....peonies with a past, a romantic one too perhaps, full of sea captains and swashbuckling! Or something like that.....

That is very cool, Deb.
