Dropped everything to go outside and rescue my Japanese tree peonies. There is a nor'easter storm headed this way, and they will be shredded cabbage by morning if they weren't cut and brought inside. It's tricky - the blossoms are huge, but you don't want to cut much of the stem as (like hydrangea) they grow on that wood stem next year. I wait all year for my peonies - the herbaceous ones are still tight little buds, but these beauties are now safely inside where I can gaze upon them and soak them up. The inside pictures don't do them justice!
