... divide the peonies
First, let me give a little history. Nancy's mother loved peonies. She had a beautiful white group of peonies in her front yard. She passed away in May 1999, and I asked Nancy's father if I could have a start. He gave me a large start, which I was able to divide and plant three starts. Within a week, the peony bush was gone, and Nancy's father went to a no-maintenance yard. :)
Today, I split my peonies and give some starts to Laura and Larry. Mike and Sarah, and Dennis and Mary.
Picture above: Top left is the flower this spring. Top right is at the cemetery with the two siblings and a peony flower from Betty's growing in my yard. Bottom left is the peonuy bundle out of the ground. Bottom right is a ladybug that was enjoy a home that I took apart. Enjoy!
