The species was always the earliest with others coming into flower over a period of about a month - just like yours. Each variety only lasted about two weeks - the same as my remaining two do now.<br /><br />If I had the room I'd have a lot more. With my space restrictions they are just tokens - but they do bridge the late spring - early summer gap.Trainer Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777701301974490461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219483201777307292.post-53187088513509961852012-06-07T00:56:59.513+01:002012-06-07T00:56:59.513+01:00John, I wonder if it's because my Maine climat...John, I wonder if it's because my Maine climate is cooler at this time of year than yours in Plymouth, but my siberian irises (which started blooming about a week ago) usually last about a month (that is, from the time that the first variety opens in the earliest, most protected location and the late variety finished blooming in a different part of the garden). I, too, have young peonies that have been slowly getting established and not making many buds. I'm looking forward to the day when I have enough flowers on the peonies to cut some and bring them indoors, where they last much longer. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
