Boy, I'm gone for a week and it's taking forever to keep up with all of you!

Victor, I can't remember, what were your questions about tree peonies? I had one growing in Maine (Z4a) and dug it up and moved it to VA with me to plant next to Rick's. Funny story, when a friend and I went to a nursery to choose what we wanted, I chose the darker purple red and she chose the light pink. Somehow in the back of her truck they got mixed up (no tags) and when they bloomed we realized that we had switched them! LOL Odd thing is when I brought my light pink one to VA to plant next to Rick's, he had the darker one I had wanted in the first place! We've actually seen a few small seedlings show up in the garden but they're not large enough yet to flower - so time will tell which one we get!

Someone mention Yucca? Love 'Color Glory'! Haven't seen it bloom yet - this will be its third year in the gardens and I can't wait! Have two others to plant this year - 'Bright Edge' which doesn't look much different and 'Sapphire Blue' which hopefully will be a nice companion for the bright variegation of 'Color Glory'. One of the things I really like about CG is the pink/red hue it takes on over the winter (I think I have a picture of it from last January - found it!).

PrimroseSue - I'm from Bangor! Maybe I know some of your DH's family? Just returned from a trip there - they sure have lots of snow!
