    Thank you! I can't wait for spring to come! Honestly, the peonies are my favourite thing in the whole garden. I can admire their beauty all day long. Apart from that, started growing my indoor garden (because it's too cold outside), and when spring comes, it's time to revive my vegetable garden in the back yard.

    Welcome, and I totally understand your love of peonies. Just got a mixed bag of four, and potted them up because I am unsure of where to plant them (plus the soil is too wet). Can't wait to see photos of your plants.:stew1::wave:

    H Desiree, welcome to GardenStew from north central Texas. I have one Peony in my front garden that has survived being moved 4 times and apparently loves it's present location and bloomed for me last year.

    Don't forget that we love photos of gardens, soon to be gardens, pets and in general all things garden.

    Hi. Welcome from a fellow UK'er (SE). Peonies are as you say beautiful plants with beautiful blooms - and in a great variety. I used to grow them in first garden both doubles and singles including Molly. Are you generally an herbaceous perennial fan?. Look forward to hearing all about your garden and plant preferences. Syd.

    Thank you for the warm welcome everybody! My camera is kind of broken, and all my gardening photos are on it. When I get it fixed I'll show you my pride and joy - my garden!:cool:
    You can add me on G+ or Facebook if you want to.

    Hello and welcome from Idaho. I'm looking forward to seeing your photos when your camera is fixed. I love peonies also but due to lack of space and so many other beautiful flowers, I only have a few but concentrated on ones that are fragrant.
