Edulis Superba Peony - Spring 2015 - LEFT 2
The Edulis Superba Peony did so well this year! Roughly about 10-11 blooms. This peony type have no fragrance.

Peonies - Spring 2015 - RIGHT 1
February 26 2015 - PEONY R1
March 30th, 2015
PEONY R1 - I was very disappointed in this plant. Last year it was the biggest peony bush and had the most blubs. In addition, it had more than 20's eyes in fall and winter. But I think moving it to the right side of the walkway where it received less sunlight might have irritated the plant. So I did not get much blooms this year.
Itoh Peony Kopper Kettle
Feb 26, 2015
This is an Intersectional Peony, Itoh Peony Kopper Kettle. My got it for me from Costco of last summer but all the flowers were gone. It just had leaves. I accidentally cut off the leaves in October and it caused this peony to sprout more leaves in autumn instead of spring. BIG MISTAKE! Never do that again. Luckily it didn't cause all the eyes to bloom. So I might get some flowers this year.
As of today, it's getting a tiny bit of direct sunlight (the left side fence blocks half of the sideyard) touching the edge of it. So maybe that's why it's starting to sprout compare to some of the other peonies. About 2pm the sun is covering the entire Itoh plant. Yay!

Should look like this:

Just bought this guy for $22.99 at Green Acres. Will transplant it to the ground once it's bigger and I can figure where to place it in my small backyard.

Peonies - Spring 2015 - LEFT 3rd
There are roughly five peonies (that's not including the Itoh and tree peony) in my small backyard. I only took a few pictures because they look about the same. This one is located on the right side (where the fence's shadow is currently covering the plants during the spring). This is my biggest root system out of the five peonies. Recently I added soil and slow release fertilizer on all five peonies. We covered them with some mulch for the past two days due to frost.
Recently I had to make the hole bigger on this one because new eyes were growing under the tarp. It seems some little bugs have been eating some of the eyes. But it looks ok and I think it will bloom. This one is along the wall of the house, in the area that will get sun during spring. About 2pm the sun is covering half of that side.
PEONY L3
PEONY L3 - No blooms even though there was a few eyes on this bush. It might be because I planted it too deep, although I still saw the eyes at ground level. I will replant it in fall and see if that will help it grow better.

Peonies April-May 2012
Felix Crousse peony, spanish lavendar, and dusty miller.
Bowl of Beauty
Edulis Superba Peony
In 2012 the peonies was planted against this area. Not good. Did not get enough sun to produce much flowers. Removed them and put roses instead. For some reason the rose trees worked good in this area. Probably because it's taller and could get the remaining drop of sunlight in the evening.
