Now this is interesting. Not to contradict you Jaime, but it seems like I
remember reading an article recently from a primo peony person here in
Oregon that tree peonies ARE usually grafted, but they often die in that
form and you're left with the graft. Or am I mixing this up? I know he was
justifying the expense of a tree peony because it took YEARS to grow from
seed.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
