Peony Envy

The Wayside Gardens catalog showed up today! This is the first time I've ever looked at one of their catalogs, and I definitely have a case of peony envy. I think every page has something I must have...someday. I wouldn't dare put one of those beautiful plants in the ground here. It would probably die from the wretched soil, and perhaps get nibbled to death by deer or slugs. I want the echinacea purpurea "Cotton Candy," gaillardia "Oranges and Lemons," hosta "Blue Mouse Ears," albizia julibrissin "Summer Chocolate,"...okay, enough, and that's only as far as page 10! But I have to have the "Benjamin Franklin Tree" on page 95. Okay, that's all...except all of the peonies...I can't wait until next summer when I get my own yard. I guess I'll wear out the pages of my catalog and dream of next fall *sigh*
