Re: [SG] Species peonies

Good Morning Beth,
        Lucky you to live close enough to Barry to be able to go to the nursery
and bring home all those goodies. I suppose it is just as well I have never
been to his nursery. I would be in hock for the rest of my life...not
including the trailer I would have to purchase to bring all the plants home
in.....ahhhhh.
        I don't know if the Peonies were just an impulse, but if you are
developing an interest in the 'exotic' species let me know. There is a
nursery specializing in this area over in Washington.
        Good times and good gardening,  Gene
