Hi suzy-q - sending you an email. apoppyfield - I am very interested in your daffodils. I already have lots, but I know there are hundreds of varieties so you probably have some I am interested in. Not interested in iris anymore, already have 50 varieties and running out of room. (daffodils can be squeezed in anywhere :-) Need your email to contact you, can't see it on this new Houzz website, but I haven't used this new Houzz so maybe I'm missing something. CinnieO - Sorry, but I pretty much have everything on your trade list. Thanks for your interest. Now is the time for me to dig peonies. In 2 weeks they will probably have grown and be too big.

That's lovely Vera! I have two distinct heights of P. somniferum in my garden beds, the tallest just finsihed blooming wih red flowers...but what the shorter ones will be I don't know. This type of poppy can cross very easily so the offspring have a tendency to change in color from year to year. It's always a delight to see them open. T

My daughter has been anxiously waiting for her new peony to bloom. It had four nice buds and the foilage looks green and healthy, but recently the buds seem to be drying up and look like they won't bloom. She is really upset, and was so looking forward to the blooms. (she is 9 yrs. old) I don't know enough about peonies to know what went wrong. It would seem unlikely that it was underwatered, as we live in the moist Pacific NW, but that is always a possibility. Does anyone who is more familiar with peonies know what may have happened? Thanks, Sharon

Got my package from Chateau CharMarron today, didn't have time to do more than open the box and look at the top couple of roots. The ones I saw had more eyes than most growers (except Fina this year!) but the roots themselves were fairly dark, a bit odd looking, but might just be because of where they were grown. I'll soak them for a while before planting tomorrow after work. I'll also post pics of them before planting. Pwin, the Mutabilis Plena root was weird looking, a mix of pieces that looked like a normal herbaceous and parts that looked like a fernleaf root. Noticed one of the fernleaf looking bits broke off, I'll plant that one with my other bits and pieces in a large heavy pot to overwinter. Might not get anything at all from any of them but why not give it a shot?
