thank you for looking and for the cheers! my "sebastian maas" opened today. first season also. i didn't expect this at all. my peonies don't even have much foliage, and they were all 2-eyed rhizomes when i got them. this is encouraging me to grow more varieties, perhaps the earlier blooming ones (if some cultivars bloom in april). just so they don't get burned.

i'm easily pleased, too! i jump for joy when one of my plants start leafing out =))).
