Big and gorgeous.
Our backyard peony tree delivered blooms for the first time this year.
We put it in the ground three springs ago.
Crowded.
The vibrant reds were worth the wait.
Space problem?
Now my dear wife Karen and I are worried that it has outgrown this corner. We’re thinking of where and when for the transplanting process to best provide more space for future blooming.

I didn’t think they were going to bloom and wah-lah! I have 2 pots full! I had to transplant some to another pot so there will be 3 pots full!

They really do spread on their own, MBC. Next year they will want to be 6 pots full!
