Great that your peonies will bloom this year!

Doing well, and hope you are too. Moved here, to southern MD 1 1/2 years ago, still hanging in SilSpg when weather suits, so largely absent from here Jan/Feb, but this is a wonderful place, beside the Patuxent River.

Renting from a nice family (they're only here part time) that has vegetable gardens, shares asparagus with me, flowers around, and a little 'orchard,' including these peonies along the path and another group surrounding their house.

At my house I have 2 roses in containers, including this new Mr. Lincoln, with a wonderful fragrance!
