I have many different varieties in my gardens, pink, red, burgundy, white, doubles, and singles. My great-great grandfather was a gardener on a large English estate. When he immigrated to the U.S. he brought peonies starts with him and planted them in his garden here. I have peonies plants that came from my mothers separations that she took from her mothers, etc. 6 generations have split those original peony plants. <br /><br />I hope my daughters carry on the tradition when they get homes of their own.<br /><br />I am your newest follower and am stuck (happily) in your archives.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159582653513181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-56766977741549014752011-06-19T15:04:00.681-07:002011-06-19T15:04:00.681-07:00What a lovely teapot and lovely flowers.
