Awesome.<br /><br />I had no idea that this flower use to only be one layer of petals. I guess that explains the short stems to begin with. They were not meant to support the full bloom man now created. I remember the heavy flowers drooping over on the bush in my grandmom's yard. <br /><br />God gives man abilities to do so much but its man that thinks beyond GOD's plan.

One of the other blogger's husband made a soldered rebar skirt thingy to hold up her ginormous peonies. Her blog is called What Matters Most. It's a good design - it's one of the older posts.To keep the white peonies white, I understand they have to be kept totally separate from the other colors.

They do not grow in California so I had never had any. I may try some here but we have a lot of shade and our veggies are in where the sun does hit. Have a wonderful Tuesday tomorrow!
