They seem to come on so quickly, I just wish they had stout stems , pretty though.

They just do not last long enough each year for me.

They're beautiful.  Mum has these in her gardens as well.

Peonies - the most beautiful form of a rose ever, I feel.

How lovely and wow, never thought of the coca-cola used in that way. Love the gardening, and the care we bring to it.  Yours is so lovely dear Kabu.

It's lovely to know your patience is rewarded.

I love peonies....folks used to bring them in our Kansas City office every year and the smell was wonderful!  Occasionally, the ants traveled in with them....too bad I didn't know this tip to pass along then.

That Coke trick is interesting! Haven't had the stuff in years, and never thought I'd ever buy it again, but it's clearly in a good cause...

I did not know about coke I would have thought they would go for the sugar and it would draw them. Good piece of advice.

I do the same thing with the old stems. I never heard of the soda trick though.
