Been out all afternoon (nearly 5 hours) gardening with Bryan. Usually he can do this every weekend but this was two days in a row for him and instead of napping this afternoon I repotted a bunch of columbine seedling I grew last year. Also, we came back from Humber's Nurseries (I haven't visited them in at least a couple a years) with a half dozen new plants (including a new peonie.)
Speaking of peonies, Bryan found the 'Gay Paree' peonie (a very small plant - at least a year away from it's first bloom) selling for 38,99$ !!!
Bill gave me that plant the summer before he died. It's not in bloom yet but it'll produce a generous number of blooms this year.
In the meantime, the yellow peonies (also aquired from Bill - for the unheard price of 35$ - he claimed to have paid well over 100$ for it as an asian imports) is attracting quite a lot of attention. Even before they started blooming, people were fascinated with the unopened heads. Now people are asking when I'll be dividing the plant. They like it!
First bloom ...
