Now a memorial plant for a long term friend....

This year our treasured dramatic peony is absolutely fantastic as it blooms reminding us of a dear friend who left us earlier this year having struggled with Parkinson's Disease for so many years.

Reggie shared this plant with us many years ago and from the size of it I think it is time to share ours with others soon!  His last years were spent on a feeding tube and not being  unable to clearly communicate with his voice but  he never complained or lost his sense of humor.  Our friendship spanned 47 years sharing so many wonderful times and several heart breaking times in both of our families lives.  

This beauty of this plant this year is assuring us he is now free of his body which was so challenging to cope with.
