Comments (3)Mary and Troy, I know where you both are coming from. I love my wife, and I love my dad..and sisters. But I have never loved anyone as much as I loved my mom. I know it is a strange thing to say, but I feel some comfort in knowing that life cannot take away anything 'stronger' from me ever because they took the person I loved the most already. That is not to say if my sisters, wife or father go before me I won't grieve, but I have had what I think is the worst feeling in 'my life' and nothing else could be quite as devastating. Mary, that sums it up perfectly.... 'I just miss her...so plain and so very simple. I just miss her.' Duane...See MoreNot a hosta but in my hosta beds
Comments (22)miles if you can see any of the stem on a tree peony it is not planted too deep. It may be that if you planted it only last year the stems are not developed enough to have bloom buds. They are not like some herbaceous and need to be planted two inches or less under the soil a minimum of four but even better most of the stem. Peonies of all types need time to adjust to where they are planted. Even though tree peonies can have blooms the first year that is very very unusual. I have about 25+- of them. The bloom bud stems were developed within the small almost invisible bud on the side of the stem several years ago. In my garden I start seeing next years bloom buds start forming toward the end of June and early July. If your tree peony did not have secondary stems at that time last year it is very unlikely that you would have had any blooms this year. Peonies of all type bloom on their own schedule and moving them around on your whim increases that schedule. In my area KCMO if I would plant tree peonies in open sun rather than the various shaded spots I would have one day of bloom then petals on the ground the next when our temps go from 50 to 90F in a days time....See More- 6 years ago
