Roses and Peonies

It's Peony Madness here--there has been a ton of rain and the roses and the peonies seem to love it; we haven't flooded again (luckily) though I think all the water went to the Midwest and to Central Europe, where it is looking very floody indeed.

If I bought several of these plants and put them in the back of the yard, I wouldn't have to mow there anymore!
