I'm from Finland, a snowy country like yours, which I understand the peonies enjoy. I guess I'm already looking forward to summer and seeing if any of mine will bloom! I planted my very first ones last year and Bowl of Beauty is one of them. Lovely peonies you have, and great pictures!

Nevertheless, they are a wonderful gift each year.

The border of the garden in your header photo is a real stunner and like the late spring bouquet on your sidebar too. I see you are from Ontario. I wonder if you are acquainted with my blogging friend, Judith, of Lavender Cottage. She is from Ontario as well.

I don't have quite enough sun for herbaceous peonies, but tree peonies can, I discovered, handle a fair amount of shade!

It can be a delicate job after they dry, but well worth it.<br /><br />I enjoyed your photos of your Garden Buddy.
