Hollingsworth's,Swenson Farms,Adelman's,hiddensprings flower farm,La Pivoinerie D'Aoust,solaris Farms are the best in my opinion.Swenson Gardens and La Pivoinerie sent gigantic roots this past fall!

Will check those out - thanks! Peonies are my latest obsession :).

gilbert h wild & sons has some really nice offerings. & fairly cheap too. I got a "ruth cobb" from them a couple of years ago & it bloomed the very next spring after I planted it. I had to have that one as it was named after my grandmother. (her maiden name). they no longer have it on the sale list, but they have 23 others listed in their spring surplus sale flyer ranging in price from $7.50~$18.50. also, I just went to wal~mart last night & they have 2 new peonies for $5.00 each, benefitting the susan g.komen cancer fund. & they are gorgeous pink peonies. plus they had the usual reds & pinks also $5.00 each. so, you could try there too. good luck in your search.

Aggiegrad, I do the same thing: getting plants that remind me of my loved ones.
This catalog has some Daylilies and Dahlias, too! Thank you so much!!!
