My neighbor brought a few of these with him today saying when he was cleaning up his backyard he dug some hostas. And then he said, he was'nt sure and these could be Peonies too. Any ideas what these actualy are? ( photo / image / picture from Tina's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Tina's Garden )
well, tina....i can't say i would even know where to start to identify them, but you can always plant them,in a pot or elsewhere and see what comes up....and if you don't like them, they'll be easy to remove. (if they are peonies, that would be awsome!)
Plant a surprise, that is always fun. Looks like the first one is mature enough to produce a flower. Now that you have peaked our interest, you have a bunch of curious gardeners watching.......waiting....... Jerry
Before you pot them up, pull that long white rhizome of quack grass out of the one tuber :-x that will never go away if you don't.
Mmmm intersting but I can't ID them for you. They could very well be peonies but we'll all wait to see what grows for you. Do keep us updated please.
I love surprises!!!!!(flower surprises that is ) That would be awesome if it were a big,fluffy pink peony!!! Do like Carolyn says~ pull that piece of grass out of the tuber!!! Those aren't tuber roots, that is a piece of quack grass trying to hitchhike :-x Once it gets in your flower bed you will spend the rest of your natural life pulling it out!
That was 13 days. That was fast. I thought this surprise would take forever but I see it's going to be a quick surprise. Very happy to see that. Barb in Pa.
Good job Calin! Definitely right on! Be sure to plant it in its forever place, Tina. I spent five years digging one out of the same spot. :-? Did end up with a nice row of them along the north xside of my kitchen. They are so fragrant.
Still thinking Calla? This one is a little larger now. ( photo / image / picture from Tina's Garden )
