What a fabulous come back. Your peony is a stunning color.

That's so wonderful Carla , gardens really teach hope.

After a storm last year I planted four broken cane tips from Evelyn, WShakespeare 2000, Dee-lish, and something else. Yesterday I saw only one tiny cold bitten rose made it . I'm curious to see which kind it is when it blooms.

It was sad to find my favorite striped dianthus somehow got uprooted and dried up after the snow melted. I thought for sure was a goner but replanted it anyway. Now it is putting forth the first intense pink bud !

I meant to get a garden tomb made in time for Easter ...

I also had a peony resurrection! I think something dug up my 1-year-old peony tuber last fall as I found a mystery tuber laying on the ground. I planted it in a pot--it sprouted--I stuck it back in its spot--and now it has two buds! These will be my very first peony buds in my own garden and I'm super excited.

Excellent topic and discussion, sautesmom.

Resurrection and resuscitation is what I find most satisfying about gardening. That, and picking sweet bell peppers in the summer, into fall.

I need to go in the back now to get 2 photos.
