Nice to see you here, Sulli! Good luck with your quest to find new peonies.

Bea, I hope you have a nice winter and we get to see some beautiful blooms from you in 2024. I know this past season was disappointing!

Thank you LG, Karen, Anya for the Christmas Acorn . You, the moderators, and long-time members have been inspiring peony gardeners for many years. We are all very grateful that you share your time, knowledge, and love of peonies.

I'm sure everyone is looking forward to spring blooms, so here are some more from Adelman's peony gardens to brighten your holiday season.

Scarlet, thank you for the fantastic pictures! 'Dreamtime' x 'The Mackinac Grand' and Princess Margaret has the same photo. I suppose it is the image of your seedling 'Dreamtime' x 'The Mackinac Grand' . So beautiful!

I agree with LG. Thanks for posting another set of wonderful peony blooms, Scarlet! I truly hope everyone will have an awesome peony bloom season in year 2024.

Sulli, with catalogs opening up soon beginning in the New Year, I am sure you will find many nice ones to fill your garden. I can't fit much in my garden anymore, but this year I may squeeze Heather in. It's hard not to after seeing Nick's gorgeous photos of it on Facebook.

Bea, I too hope you have more normal Oregon spring weather in 2024. Something in my guts tells me that you will have a spectacular show this coming peony blooming season. Thumbs up Smiling

Happy New Year! This forum is always such a positive place to be. I read more than I post but I love being part of such a supportive, uplifting community. Looking forward to another wonderful year of stunning photographs and lovely people. I hope everyone's 2024 outshines their 2023, in out of the garden.

This is Abkhazi Princess which is a tree peony developed by Joe Harvey for the Abkhazi Gardens in Victoria, BC. The scent of the flowers are heavenly.
