Pics of the Peonies

So went to Home Depot today to get liquid sandpaper to degloss the paint in the bathroom and while I was there we looked at the seed packages they've just set out and also at the little plastic dome things they sell to grow seedlings in. I think some of the plants, like the candytuft will have to be grown from seed, I doubt I'll be able to find them at the local garden center already grown. Looks doable, I think I'd want to use the peat pellet ones because I tried to grow the ones where you add the dirt and it didn't do so well for me which is why I usually just buy them... but this time I think I should grow my own when possible.

Anyway just thought I'd give an update on the rosebush, still doing good and opening up a bit more but none of them are completely opened yet. And I need to fill it with some water because it's starting to dry out.

Oh! And I went back to the peonies website and took copies of the pictures they had of the peonies I liked. If you want to check the website out for yourself you can do it here: http://www.paeonia.com/html/catalogue/cat_ac.htm

And here are the pics:

Sorry, I know a couple of them are pixelated for some reason... not sure why it's only those two but whatever. Lol.
