I have always loved peonies, but had no idea that there are so many different varieties out there. You are lucky that you got to visit the Olbrich Botanical Gardens and see them all in person and up close. Unfortunately, in my climate I only can grow tree peonies, for the others I don't have enough winter chill. But I love to look at them at least virtually, so thanks for sharing these lovely photos on your blog! Happy New Year to you! <br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079712767252003197.post-62354444192313384082014-01-04T12:23:22.413-06:002014-01-04T12:23:22.413-06:00Wonderful memories, Rebecca!

It's nice to have a reminder these special plants. <br />I've recently moved the shed in my garden and my peony border is possibly in too much shade now - I will wait and see what happens before I go to the bother to move them.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682908724307784154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079712767252003197.post-41546193755566580302014-01-04T11:02:58.573-06:002014-01-04T11:02:58.573-06:00Olbrich in Madison is a great place to visit.

I have 3 peonies in my garden and one in my neighbour’s, my garden is too small so I gave lots of plants to my previous neighbour. There are new people living there now but I just have to look over the fence to enjoy my plants :-) I have the lovely Peony ‘Sarah Bernhardt’, which is like Karl G. Klehm which you photographed, mine has to be staked individually, each flower stem all the way up to the flower head or all the stems will be horizontal. I had more than 40 flowers on my bush last summer so that’s a lot of staking – but well worth it.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079712767252003197.post-1043031346913653332014-01-03T21:35:45.382-06:002014-01-03T21:35:45.382-06:00I didn't realize there were that many kinds of...I didn't realize there were that many kinds of peonies. I just have 3 that were already planted by my mother-in-law when she was alive and lived here. Those sure are some pretty blooms! I enjoyed looking back at your fall photos, too.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I laughed when I read about your short plants poking up a bit through the snow. That sounds cute to me!Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079712767252003197.post-29693574288254241152014-01-03T18:40:09.391-06:002014-01-03T18:40:09.391-06:00Nice post.

I don't know how to contain myself until they flower.

Apparently some varieties are more successful than others. If not, you'll just have to be content with all the roses, gardenia, camellia, etc. that grow so well where you are... There must be a million mouth-watering plants that grow in CA but not up here - pretty much all we get to crow about is peonies! It's not much but it gives me something to dream about in winter.spurgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576503805188297240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079712767252003197.post-69762743755066968692014-01-02T21:50:15.125-06:002014-01-02T21:50:15.125-06:00I so so so wish I could grow peonies - your pictur...I so so so wish I could grow peonies - your pictures make me salivate. I planted an Itoh peony last summer and have my fingers crossed that it'll come back this year as I've heard testimonials to this effect from other southern California gardeners. I also planted a tree peony shortly after we moved in 3 years ago but, so far, no blooms (but it is still alive!).Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
