PeonyFan writes: Country Cousin: the creamy yellow peony is a "tree" peony even though it is probably only 3-4 ft high. Can't definitely identify the red herbaceous peony but "America", "Scarlett O'Hara", and "Illini Warrior" all resemble it. Posted: 10:25 am on March 2nd

PeonyFan writes: Gorgeous peonies! I have visited Chanticleer but not in peony season so these photos are a treat. Thank you! Meanwhile, over 70 inches of snow here and still counting.... Posted: 10:20 am on March 2nd

CountryCousin writes: Truly lovely. So many things in bloom at once, blending colours beautifully. Anyone know the names of the peonies? How about the allium? Are they 'Purple Sensation'? I'd love to replicate the grouping. And is it Scilla hyacinthoides contrasting with the creamy white peony? Posted: 9:42 am on March 2nd

I feel that today we should pay more attention to wild flowers! in doing this we are helping out the beautiful things in life, butterfly's,Hummingbirds,and others wild life in our own yards and in its natural state. In doing this we are persevering nature at its finest. Posted: 7:04 am on March 2nd
