Can't wait to see how many types I saved, but it may be next year before I see blooms from these little babies.ProfessorRoushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827625019371233145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-10596945119645347312013-01-27T16:49:53.892-06:002013-01-27T16:49:53.892-06:00Nice tradition, Greggo.

My youngest son and I planted a Caddo Sugar Maple as he was my prodigal son which returned that day. I planted a white dogwood for the Misses and a Sugar Maple for the grandaughter. We often go by the former house and check on them. Last week my son reported on the growth of the Caddo and took phone photos. Nice! Thanks for the memories, James.greggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490422976382424491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-89553441632276255392012-12-04T07:25:53.637-06:002012-12-04T07:25:53.637-06:00I love how plants can evoke memories.

I hope your peonies live for generations, and that you pass down not only peony blooms, but memories from your childhood home.

I'll attempt to blame that on my mental state during writing it.
