RE: Help with peonies

Oh yes, it's the Southeastern Lament.  I would love to have a garden
full of these beauties but know that most years it would be a waste of
space.  The one herbaceous peony I have has a place of honor in my yard
because it came from the garden of dear friend who died much, much too
young, but it does always look terrible this time of year.  That's ok,
however, because when it blooms in the spring I see Joyce's shining face
in every lovely flower.

Where I  am, only the early peonies have much chance.  Even then, the
large,  luscious doubles often turn into sodden brown messes because we
invariably  have major rain just as they come into bloom...every durn
year!



Now isn't that the sad truth!  I don't know why I get excited every
year 
when their buds are ready to burst.  I ought to know a severe thunder
storm 
(likely with hail) is just around the corner. :-)
