Weeper: I'm not sure where you are located but check out my posting 2 down. They are selling out their peonies and some are at good prices. I have bought from them and find them to be very good. Marg

Weeper, I posted on Marg's post by accident. I used to order from The Peony Garden but havn't since Ken passed away. His son has taken over and I don't know what is what with even the website. Ken was really good at his craft.:)

Marg ~ Haven't checked out Lilies iIn The Valley yet.

Thanks, Ginny, for the link, I love looking at your pics! Especially the light pink one at the end.

I would love to hear what you grow, can you post here, or do you need my email address?

My list so far is as follows; I know many of them are very similar, I'll intend to narrow it down to 5-6 by February.

From Parkland Perennials:
A. B. Franklin
Buckeye Belle
August Dessert
Do Tell
Fancy Nancy
Elsa Sass or Mrs. E Harding or Mother's Choice
La France
Pillow Talk

From La Pivoinerie:
Belleville
Bev
Mme de Verneville
Noemie Demay
Ramona Lins

And whatever else I convince myself to buy. I'll probably wait on itoh's, unless I see some great sales this year. I'm thinking of eventually planting them in a hedge, interplanted with roses. We'll see.

That one is Angel Cheeks and again, the picture says nothing about it's beauty in the garden! One of my favorites! Long lasting too. I didn't get great pics of my beauties in bloom last year and we had a great season for them so I will do my best this spring. I picked many and gave them away! Viking Chief was one of them and I have 2 of them! I also have many that have not bloomed yet as they are not mature enough. Most of my peonies come from Parkland as they are easy for me to access in person. And I can take the dogs for a run. :) Bob also has awesome hardy daylilies which are just amazing to see in full bloom.

Weeper ~ My list is very long so it would probably be best to email. Here's mine.

I'm glad to see that you have Buckeye Belle on your list - that is one beautiful peony.

I got the Lindenburgh catalogue yesterday and was very glad to see that they have the Itoh peony, Bartzella, for a very reasonable price ($40). I've been coveting it for quite a while, particularly because it's yellow, but wasn't willing to spend the $200 or $300 that it was initially selling for.

Speaking of yellow peonies, I got Laura Dessert from Parkland about 3 years ago and it's beautiful.

Do Tell is another one I've been wanting to get, every time I see a photo of it I start thinking about where I could plant one.

So now you've given me a reason to make the trek to the Post Office, Pudge. I've been waiting for Lindenberg's catalogue. I can usually find something in there to try.

Oh I really don't need another catalogue but that is one I don't get. *squinching my eyes* They must have a website???

Pudge, I bought Bartzella from T&T about 3 years ago and she hasn't bloomed yet but maybe this year. I'll take a picture when she comes up. I think I paid 35 bucks for her. Even though I rarely purchase peonies from mail order catalogues, T&T are not too bad and this one was a winner. We'll just see if she handles -40C winters.....:/
