Mon jardin 2009
Sheriff Roland:
The poenies are starting to open up. This Yellow Poenie's been getting a lot of attention - was getting lots even before it started blooming cause of the unusual buds. Some people were even wanting to leave me their phone number for when I'd be dividing the plant - even though I told em I'd not likely divide it until the end of next summer.
Anyway It's been in bloom now for over a week, but I wasn't able to take a good picture of em (I didn't even care for Bryan's pics). This one's not bad ... (photo taken yesterday)
Sheriff Roland:
The Sarah Bernhardt too just opened up. This is the peonie that produces HUGE (8 to 10 inches) blossoms last year, and some 5 dozen of em so I divided the plant. The potted sibling (I still have about 5 of em - sold just 2 of em) are not producing blossoms and the ones I left in the ground are not going to produce 12 blooms this year - and they look to be smaller - but they're just as vibrant and scentful.
Sheriff Roland:
This beauty is called Gay Paree. I always suspected Bill of inventing this odd name. Especially since he lived in Paris Ontario and he was gay. He gave me this Poenie the summer before he died and I kept it in the pot outside over winter. As you can see it survived quite nicely. All this I've told before on other thread(s). What's new is that a Jr. version (very young, at least a year away from it's first bloom) of this plant was for sale at Humber's Nurseries for 38,99$. Oh wait, maybe I've already told this part of the story too ...

A splash of yellow behind the house.
