好。等妳的片片，一定是美美哒。 我就是衝動型，看到喜歡的花、樹都先買了再説，没好好規劃，也不知道玫瑰那麽容易串種。。。 我前院也是木本和草本牡丹種得好近呢。現在襯弄前、後院的花槽，好好想想怎麽遷移她們，讓她們 “ 分居 ”。
I keep mine under a window with about 3 hours of afternoon sun. It is doing magic. Have you seen the picture in earlier posts
好呐。我去找找哪有成株的fox glove，好像在Walmart見到過。 還想請教：除了玫瑰容易串種，其它花呢？譬如牡丹和芍藥？ 愛花原來不單單是喜歡、捧回家就行的，惜花才是真正地愛她。這裡太多學問了，慢慢來，慢慢學唄。。。
I got my fox glove at Lowe`s (19.99) --- I wanted all 3 colours but no room to put them. So I ended up with the colour I like the most. In the spring, baby fox glove was selling for only 3.99 at WM. Like I said, what makes roses noble is authenticity and purity, so cross-pollination should be avoided if possible. Peony and tree peony are not said to have cross pollenated. It is an art and it took me rather some time too. If you just started, you are a great starter and I am sure you will get increasingly better. I am on to the next level now --- germinating from seeds (I saw one sprout of my soaking water lily seeds last night and need to get seeding beds for them this pm) and propagating woods and vines.
Take her out for full sun will surely speed up blooming but I am afraid of the risk of bringing back home bugs/diseases --- I think I have said that before --- I don't do that except treating them in my "hospital", which was posted earlier.
How many peonies/tree peonies do you have? I would recommend one bed for all of them and only for them --- you can make arrangements the way you like but tree peonies are getting increasing higher as the years wear on whereas peonies stay at more or less the same height all the time, I would suggest centering with tree peonies and surrounding them with peonies. You need to take colours into consideration too for the arrangement. One technicality you have to pay attention to: in transplanting peonies, try to level them at the previous level (there are usually red marks just above the ground) as much as possible. Planting them too deep/not deep enough may cause them not to bloom for up to 5 years depending on the soil because their roots need to get settled and they settle very slowly. Timing of transplant: the earlier the better so that roots have a longer period of the year to settle before being frozen. Do it in the early morning and keep on watering thoroughly for 2-3 weeks.
