The bed this Peony is in is so tiny! Barely 2' wide and about 5' long.
This peony's roots must be growing in circles to survive there.

In the middle of this bed is a very pretty Clematis--called "Proteus".
Maybe you remember last spring i was posting pics of how each bloom
was a different shape than the others...Most unusual!

Then on each side of this Clematis are 2 clumps of Monkshoods.
And--at the other end of this bed is my huge, white Azalea. I cut it back
every 2-3 years....go the nibs. It always re-grows...

1--Just took this to show you how small t is...
***(The blow shots are from last year)***

3--The white Peony that is now sprouting up
4--The white Azalea the bed ends up against
