My eldest sister lives in the Matanuska Valley in Alaska where the world's largest cabbages are grown. I recently received these images in my email. It seems that this year, Dirce's peonies are rivaling the cabbages for size! Because of their size and the recent rain there, the flowers were falling to the ground so they got rescued for the vase. This one is posing on the seat of a chair. That's got to be over a foot around.

All of the peonies in my garden are but a memory. It's nice to know gardeners in the north who are enjoying them still.

Hope you enjoyed these giants from the north!

There's a reason that they call this peony flower type a bomb! It took two large vases to accommodate these three blooms.
