Patience my friend....patience


Peonia brownii in the front and rocks peony in the background.

Patience....because I collected seed of that 8 years ago and its gonna bloom!!!!

Incidently this little ugly duckling can cross with those big beautiful ones....might have to see what comes of it.

Spring weather...almost downright summer weather.

Cheers,

Mark

    Congratulations on blooming P. brownie: you're a better man than me (I've killed my share). It may have modest flowers--I don't know about ugly--but that foliage is to die for!

    I'm watching my seed germinate this spring. Maybe I too can look forward to the flowers 8 years from now. Who's bagging on the flowers? I like them!

    Haha....beauty is in the eye of the beholder, its one of my favorite native plants though and I suppose its not fair to call the little brown and green flowers ugly
    ..just different!
