When that peony bloomed, it was as if the house/garden said "Thanks, so glad you are here..." <br /><br />We have a place built in 1948 (near Bend, OR) and I 'm pretty sure we have the same peonies-here's a link. They are called Kansas,and they won a gold medal in 1957. <br />http://peonyparadise.com/kansas.aspx<br /><br />We moved about ten of them last year when we did our front yard landscape makeover. They are hardy things, and one perk of living where the winter is long and cold.

When I was first learning to garden, I planted one but thought I lost it and proceeded to mow that area for the rest of the summer and all of the following summer. A year and a half after I thought I lost it, I was shocked to see the peony poking through in spring. She too has gotten bigger every year and I love how unique she is!<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1905391389226&set=a.2021563653460.2113877.1074997750&type=3&theaterErinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-57244135353456605032012-06-11T14:03:39.324-04:002012-06-11T14:03:39.324-04:00She's a real trooper, that's for sure (not...She's a real trooper, that's for sure (not unlike yourselves - lol!) - and SO beautiful!<br />Paula xPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997152541694968825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-36087941281429839562012-06-11T13:20:35.223-04:002012-06-11T13:20:35.223-04:00She's gorgeous and does look happy with her hy...She's gorgeous and does look happy with her hydrangea neighbors.

Knowing how fragile peonies are when transplanted (don't theyusually go into a bit of a swoon for a year or two after being moved?), it's rather extraordinary that this one just tucked into the new location and 'leaned in' to its new life. And such a beautiful, beautiful color....a rich raspberry.
