Our "surprise" peonies (had been mowed over by previous owner when we bought the house) are going to bloom this year. Last year they came up, but only produced leaves. Can't wait to see what kind they are.

Hope you are doing well, my friend. Life has limited my DU and, alas, gardening time to a bare minimum but I love seeing your gorgeous pictures. Amazing how far behind we are up here in NE. Then again, we were still having snow in late April!
