I was at an All Ladies dinner party last Friday. It was loads of fun and my girl friend Lynda went all out with the spread. Scallops wrapped with bacon, Spinach balls, cheese and crackers, and spiced nuts for hors d'ouvre accompanied by non-ending mixture of drinks, wine and champagne. Then for dinner, we had Crab Cakes with Lemon Butter Sauce topped with Tomato salsa, Rotolo (yummy italian dish) for the main course and Tiramisu and Pumpkin Cream Cheese roll for dessert choices. We were stuffed and truly grateful for this wonderful meal! What a fantastic hostess/cook she is!
Then, as conversations go - one of the ladies brought up my website and peonies. She indicated that she didn't know there were so many varieties. She complained, however, that the plant is short lived when in bloom. And so, I explained to her how to lengthen the blooming time of peonies.
Her comment inspired me to create a pdf file title "Peonies Blooming Time". I just posted it on my website www.ilovepeonies.com. I hope that this helps you in your selection of peonies. Living here in the Pacific Northwest, one of the things I decided is that I will have flowers and color during all 4 seasons. I didn't want to face fall and especially bleak winter with nothing going on in my garden. And so, I chose plants and trees that would provide color during these seasons.
Thus, the Peonies Blooming Times. It takes a little bit of time to download because it has a lot of pictures to show you the colors of the peonies in bloom during specific times. This guide will help you choose cultivars that will lengthen the time to enjoy the peonies!
