>>> WELCOME BACK. ACCORDING TO OUR RESIDENT
EXPERT, PEONIES ARE BLOOMING
LIKE CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
PLEASE WELCOME CISCOE MORRIS.
WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT YOUR
ENERGY LEVEL ON ON MONDAY.
THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL.
>> AREN'T THEY GORGEOUS?
>> THESE ALL CAME OUT OF MY
GARDEN.
GARDEN.
GARDEN. >> YOU ALWAYS DO ONE THING.
>> THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS
OF PENONIES AND IT IS AN OLD
FASHIONED FLOUR.
FASHIONED FLOUR. IT USED TO BE THE ONLY CUP
FLOUR FOR WEDDINGS.
BACK IN THE DAY THEY WOULD PICK
THESE RIGHT WHEN THEY WERE
STARTING TO OPEN.
THIS WAS NOT OPEN AT ALL WHEN
THEY CAME THIS MORNING AND NOW
IT JUST OPENED.
THEY OPEN UP AND THERE IS ONE
PROBLEM WITH THESE.
WHEN I WAS A KID IN WISCONSIN,
I WORKED AT THIS LOCAL CHURCH
AND THE GUY THAT TRAINED ME
SAID THAT THE FLOWERS WON'T
OPEN UP UNLESS AN ECHOES AND
VISITS THE BUD.
THERE IS SOMETHING SWEET IN THE
BUD AND IT WAS THE BIGGEST BUNCH
.
.
. >>
. >> THAT
. >> THAT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE
A DIFFICULT THING TO ASCERTAIN.
>> OH, YEAH.
THE BUDS ARE REALLY SWEET SO
ANTS ALWAYS GO AND A LOT OF
TIMES YOU MAKE A BEAUTIFUL CUP
FLOWER ARRANGEMENT AND PUT THEM
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE AND
EVERYBODY FINDS ANTS ON THEIR
BRUSSEL SPROUTS CASSEROLE.
IT'S REALLY SERIOUS.
>> THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE MY
WORST NIGHTMARE.
WORST NIGHTMARE. >> THERE ARE ALL THESE
DIFFERENT TYPES AND IT'S
ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE NOT REAL.
HOW MANY VARIETIES ARE THERE?
>> THIS IS A TRUE TREE PEONY.
IT WAS THE ONLY FLOWER I HAD
LEFT IN THIS IS A TREE PEONY
AND THEY GET TALL.
YOU CANNOT CUT THOSE TO THE
GROUND.
GROUND.
GROUND. IF YOU DO, THAT WILL BE THE END
OF IT.
OF IT.
OF IT. WHAT YOU CAN DO IS IF IT'S TOO
TALL, LET'S SAY THIS BRANCH
RIGHT HERE BECAUSE WE JUST CUT
-- HOOPS.
-- HOOPS.
-- HOOPS. THIS IS WHAT IS LEFT.
THIS FELL DOWN.
THIS WILL BRANCH OUT AND THAT
IS A TREE PEONY AND THIS IS A
REGULAR PEONY.
REGULAR PEONY. THIS IS THE BEST PEONY IN THE
WHOLE WORLD . I PUT THIS GM BY
IT AND THAT IS SO SPECTACULAR.
>> THAT REALLY IS.
WHEN AND WHERE DO WE PLANT
THESE?
THESE?
THESE? OH
THESE? OH MY GOSH, THERE IS A BUG IN
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. >>
THIS. >> IT'S PROBABLY AN AUNT.
PEONIES HAVE TO HAVE FULL SUN.
THEY HATE SON WITH A PASSION
OR SHADE WITH A PASSION.
I GIVE A LITTLE ORGANIC FLOUR
FOOD MIXED IN TO THE SOIL AND
THEY BLOOM BUT THEY DON'T LIKE
BEING TOO CROWDED.
IF THEY GET REAL CROWDED, THEY
WILL STOP BLOOMING AND THEY
MIGHT GET SOME FUNGUS ON THEM.
>> IS IT TOO LATE TO PLANT?
>> NO.
>> NO.
>> NO. THEY COULD BE IN FULL BLOOM.
A GREAT TIME TO PLANT THEM.
REALLY IMPORTANT AND DON'T
PLANT THEM ANY DEEPER.
>> INTERESTING.
>> INTERESTING. WHY IS THAT?
>> THEY WILL NEVER BLOOM.
>> THAT'S EASY.
YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE X AMOUNT
OF SPACE.
OF SPACE.
OF SPACE. >> EXCEPT FOR TREE PEONY.
I PLAN TO THAT SIX INCHES AND
IT CAME OUT DEEPER BECAUSE WHAT
THEY WANT YOU TO DO IS PLANT
THEM DEEP SO THAT IT SLOWLY
DIES AND AND THE ROOTS GROW OUT
THE STEM AND YOU WILL NEVER
HAVE MET PEONY TRYING TO COME
BACK.
BACK.
BACK. >>
BACK. >> HOW LONG DO THEY BLOOM?
>> TREE PEONIES BLOOM IN THE
NEXT FEW DAYS.
>> SERIOUSLY?
>> SERIOUSLY? >> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. THIS IS ACROSS BETWEEN THREE
AND DOESN'T IT SMELL GOOD?
THIS IS HOW BIG THEY ARE.
THIS WILL GET THIS BIG.
>> THEY ARE PRETTY ON THE
INSIDE TOO.
INSIDE TOO. >> THEY KEEP PUMPING OUT BLOOMS
AND THEY ARE THE NEWEST THING.
I PAID $90 FOR A ONE GALLON POT
BUT THIS IS A NEW ONE AND IT'S
NOT AS BIG AS YOU CAN SEE BUT
IT IS QUITE COLORFUL AND I ONLY
PAY $25 SO THE PRICE HAS COME
DOWN AND THEY GROW FROM A CHUNK
INTO A WHOLE PLANT SO YOU CAN
GET THESE CHEAPER NOW.
>> YOU SHOWED US HIS PLANT.
WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU WANT TO
PLANT SO THEY STILL HAVE
ENOUGH SPACE BUT THEY LOOK GOOD?
I LIKE THE IDEA THAT THE
FLOWERS ARE MUCH SMALLER.
>> SUCH A NICE COMBINATION.
I THINK YOU COULD DO THINGS
LIKE ASTERS AND GRASSES LOOK
REALLY GOOD AROUND THIS ONE.
I HAVE SOME YELLOW GRASSES.
IT'S SO SPECTACULAR.
>> THE CONTRAST . WHEN IS IT
TOO LATE TO PLANT THEM?
>> I THINK YOU CAN PLANT THEM
YEAR-ROUND.
YEAR-ROUND. >> REALLY?
>> REALLY? AND THEY WILL BE FINE?
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. I
>> YES. I GREW THOSE IN WISCONSIN, YOU
KNOW?
KNOW?
KNOW? THE
KNOW? THE THING TO KNOW ABOUT THESE
IS THAT IN THE OLD DAYS THEY
TOLD YOU YOU CAN NEVER DIVIDE
THE PEONY BUT NOW WE KNOW THAT
YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO BUT YOU
CAN DIVIDE ANY.
YOU CAN'T DO THE EGOS OR THE
TREE ONCE BUT ANY VICIOUS ONES.
WHEN I WENT OUT TO GET THIS
THIS MORNING, THERE WAS A
HUMMINGBIRD.
HUMMINGBIRD. >> IT'S JUST FULL OF GOODNESS.
DOES MARIANNE KNOW THAT WE HAVE
THIS?
THIS?
THIS? >>
THIS? >> DON'T NOBODY TELL HER.
>> THANK YOU
