Aldeman Peony Garden
Our third stop on Memorial Day, and just a few miles from the first two, was Aldeman Peony Garden.
This is a newly landscaped display garden, with room for more peonies, but first I had to get past the field of red clover next door. This is farm country.
Here too wonderful companion plantings accompany the featured peonies.
There are huge growing fields here too, where they raise their world famous peonies for sale. We didn't take the walk out to the fields, having had more than enough eye candy for this stop.

What a beautiful garden. You got some great shots of the peonies. I keep thinking I should plant Lupines again, but the last time I did, they were aphid magnets, not a nice look.
ReplyDeleteAwesome flowers! The owners and employees must be happy to work among such beauty!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! :-)
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous garden! Peonies are wonderful, easy care, long-lived plants. Great companions in this garden.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could make a garden like this in my backyard, but the ground is much too hard. I don't have the funds to buy expensive equipment.
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures, mahalo! i used to buy peony buds in japan and bring them home for my mother-in-law. the japanese call them "botan". they would slowly open, revealing a lovely delicate scent and gorgeous large blossoms.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful array of colour. Beautiful blooms.
ReplyDeletePretty.
ReplyDeleteAmazing peonies!
ReplyDeletePeonies are always very showy. You certainly caught that in your photos. I like this garden where they have a a wide grass space between flowers.
ReplyDeletebeautiful I love peonies but they won't grow in our climate or soil!
ReplyDeleteLove the color combinations and water features are my weakness.
ReplyDeleteWow they have some great display gardens! :)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! You're making me want to move to the Northwest!
