| Peony |
In the spring of 2002, I planted a large potted peony along the side of the house, in the spot where the stricta juniper used to stand. It seems to be doing quite well and has a number of buds that show promise.
It's June of 2003 and judging by these buds, the peony is going to be putting on quite a show!
Not only are the flowers gorgeous, they're wonderfully fragrant too!
With a new camera, here's the actual color of the peony.
Judging by the buds, the peony is going to put on quite a show -- mid-May, 2004.

It's mid-May 2005 and judging from the buds, the peony should put on quite a show this year.
Memorial Day and the peony is getting ready to pop!
POP! 
It's mid-may 2006 and the peony is getting ready to blossom.
It's now the first of May 2007 and the peony is pushing up through its support with very vigorous growth that's already full of buds.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and the peony is covered with buds that are getting ready to open.
The peony is about ready to pop!
Saturday, 26 May -- POP!
It's early May 2008 and the peony is putting on strong growth, with many buds already in evidence. This year, I got the peony support in place early enough and as a result the growth is strong and upright, as you can see.
