An itoh peony…. in my garden! You have no idea how excited I am about this. Some women swoon over shoes and handbags: I swoon over plant finds. A few years ago I made a concerted effort to find one and failed, and then, Saturday morning, there this was at the Poway Lowe’s, next to the chimneas. This — its first bloom — opened today.
