Thanks PC, yes they are cool. I like them better then roses since they are hardy, bug tolerant and easy to grow:) I have not purchased any since I have 6-8 p[plants out there which were planted by the previous owner. They are next to the iris patches and probably a couple or few decades old. I never saw a tree peony, I'll have to keep an eye out. You are right, no yellow, I will have to remedy that.

As for Phoebe, I was surprised to see it out of the nest without a tail:) But the parents are such good flyers, I assume the little one will be fine
. as seen in the one photo, they even feed in mid air.


Thanks, Jeff
