$10,000 Peony Unboxing 

I love this content 🤩 Serina is the world's coolest person ❤

Can we fast forward to Spring so we can see the field of a thousand peonies? ❤❤❤😊😊😊

Cannot wait to be watching the progress in 3 years!

I love peonies and was involved in a group buy in Ottawa. I spent $70 dollars and my husband was “grumpy” with me. Oddly enough I ordered Bridal shower and it didn’t come in and I had to substitute a different white. I almost bought the “Do tell” and decided I didn’t have space. Silly me, because now I have regret. I enjoyed your vision and your enthusiasm. I live for the “Three days of Peony Perfection” every year.

This is our new favorite video. Thank you for your enthusiasm and energy. We're in this for the long haul and can't wait to see fields of peonies in a few years!

Love the yellow peony. I’ve noticed this year that you haven’t been as sick as in prior years. Less Covid? More workers? Whatever, seeing you healthier is wonderful!

Festival Maxima Peonies is a beautiful white streaked with red flecks and they smell divine.

Peonies are my FAVORITES! I added a few this year and moved some that I have been meaning to for years as they weren’t getting enough sun where the former gardener planted them in my current garden. If one day you decide to leave the flower growing business you can always dig up the peony roots and sell them, you will make your money back and then some!😊

What a great collection, I bet they will look gorgeous in a few years! I have recently fallen madly in love with Itoh peonies, they come in such unique colors and the apricot ones are especially beautiful. They're expensive, but I feel like I must have all of them!

I hope you 2 will still make videos in 10 years.. And will make videos of peonies and lots of it❤️

I'm dreaming of spring watching this! It's so cold and dark here and this is exactly what I needed!

I hope you're still making videos in 5 yrs so we can see the peonies bloom!!!!

I live in Florida but peonys are my favorite flower. Went camping to Alaska and just loved all the gardens with them. One lady at a campground gave me a bloom, a pretty white, and it lasted forever.

I love my candy stripe peony it only has a few stripes per bloom.Blooms end of may here in 6a.The scent is wonderful.The future of peonies on your land tickles my heart.❤

No flower surpasses the beauty of peonies - not roses, not irises, not even snapdragons. And those are gorgeous. But peonies are in a class of gorgeousness all to themselves. Sorry. I can't choose just one. A great investment, Serina!

I absolutely love Brother Chuck too. A couple more of my favourites are Moon Over Barrington and Nick Shaylor! You also need Colonel Owen Cousins, its a great pastel beige, and has breeding ties to Canada. I can't wait to see more of your peonies.

Peonyusa has an orange peony called Orange Victory

Peonies are WELL worth the investment! 🥰

Pink Hawaiian coral is beautiful!!!💙 Nevermind they are all beautiful.

Hey Serina- Class Act is a fav. Mine are around 12-15 years old now and produce 7-9 large blooms per stem. They also require support. Each plant produces 7+ stems. Also, continue to add the yellow variations, you will not regret it!! Zone 6b/7a here in southern Indiana. Home gardener! :) I

Peonies are my most favorite flower. I can’t wait to see them in bloom

Love this video! My coral charm blooms change color as they age- so gorgeous on the plant to have different colored blooms at different stages of their maturity!

Watching this I immediately wanted to order some peony’s. I have 8 peony plants. I would love to have more. Anyway I am 66 and we had a large peony bush at my family home and it’s still alive! We also had a lilac bush (still there too). My parents liked the switches from it! LOL. Congrats on the amazing order.

Etched Salmon and Lemon Chiffon are the 2 peonies I splurged on, can't wait to see them bloom I hope.

I've planted a bunch of Itoh (pronounced ee-toe, named after Toichi Itoh who successfully hybridized them) peonies in my garden, and the new one I'm really looking forward to is the Yellow Crown variety. Itohs tend to be more expensive, so I'm not sure how feasible it is as a cut flower, but if you need a different yellow in your personal collection...! A couple other beautiful Itohs are Canary Brilliants and All That Jazz - and there are so many more.

Being just a home gardener I buy at least two plants or roots each year, Blush queen is top of my list this year it’s said to be rare and a prolific bloomer.

Peonies are definitely amazing 🥰. They’re a must have in our garden.

I love all the peonies!!! That red one at the beginning was exceptional! Creamy colors are one of my favorite, too!

I have 60 varieties of peonies. Some of them are very well suited for cutting. At least that's what the breeder says. I have almost all the varieties that you, Serena, bought. Of course, the most suitable for cutting are lactiflora classics Sarah Bernhardt and Angel Chicks. I also really like Myrtle Gentry, Carnation Bouquet. From white- Bowl of Cream, Amalia Olson, Gardenia. A little expensive, but lovely Colonel Ow. Cousins. I had a bouquet of Sarah B. , Angel Chicks and Myrtle Gentry for a whole good week 👍

I wish you good luck with your Flowers! 🌺🌺🌺 Greetings from Flowers Zone Albania 🇦🇱

What a terrific selection! Love your content, thank you so much!

Gorgeous, Serina! Great choices!

Wow can't wait to see the field in bloom! Thinking I should've done that for my old age (now!) to fall back on for cutting. Always thought they bloomed too early before my market started...like tulips. Don't want to put in the money/effort into my small market farm if they bloom too early. I need to research this more...so glad for all the info. you guys are great.

What a glorious unboxing! I've got a mystery peony that was planted by a previous owner of our home... Based on how close it is to the trunk of a very mature crepe myrtle tree & how massive the main root of the peony is, I'm sure it is old. Every year it tries to grow but it just doesn't have enough light or space so I dig the pieces I can & transplant them, one is finally getting big enough that it will hopefully bloom next spring *fingers crossed*

Lady, lady, lady! You started off with a good video panning around the store, with a view of 2 blue and white vases-flowerpots--??. I never saw you go back to those pots, why not? Back to video--I love all of your videos!! Keep on sending us these over all scans and close inspections and prices! Love 'em!!!❤😊

Dinner plate peony is a must have !!❤

Oh,Serena it's like Christmas morning!😄 So excited to see them bloom!I have been watching your channel from the beginning,I am too in Canada Ontario little North of Muskoka.I wish you and your family all the best for 2024.

Looking fwd to future bouquets. White scented peonies are a favorite, but love all varieties!

So excited to see those beautifull peonies booms😊

Beautiful roots lead to amazing flowers, so excited for you! I'm glad I know they are already planted, it's cold outside...😅😊😅

Peonies are my very favorite flower.

Each root seems to be bigger and more beautiful than the last. It really makes me want to throw rocks at the puny little early spring remainders I picked up for $7/each from a regional-to-me grower.

Waiting for the orange peony!!! Brother Chuck looks beautiful. I like the sweet smelling peonies. Not big on the pink. Would like to see the yellow! Thanks for sharing! Many blessings to you and your farm

I will be sticking around to see them in a few years!

Class Act is my fav 😍

Elsa Sass!! Wow!

I love watching your excitement in the unboxings. 💕💕🎶🎶

The Sarah Bernhardt Peony is an old time peony that smells beautiful. Each bud on the root will be a stem or flower next year. So I would pick them. I don’t think it weakens the plant. However from having a flower farm maybe different rules from a home garden. Some of those roots had a lot of buds so the plant should be mature enough to flower. Definitely get with a florist and sell the peonies. Springtime is prime wedding and peony season. I plant sweet William too. In my area they both bloom at the same time. Looks very pretty together. I have do tell peony in my garden. Very distinct color and look. I have over 30 peony varieties in my garden in zone 7. You made good choices with what you picked.

The honey gold looks so interesting. I am looking forward to seeing all the varieties and how they will turn out.

I grow many peonies because they are my favourite flowers besides roses. I have singles, doubles, Itoh and tree peonies. My first Itoh and favourite is the large yellow Bartzella. I also grow Bowl of Beauty which is a large double herbaceous pink that doesn't need any support. Neither do the Itoh or tree peonies. Bonny

I love all of them..❤❤

i feel like christmas all the peony its so exiting the golden honey yellow barbie pink is a beauty and brother chuck heck i love them all i have been waiting for this video i love peony

As a flower farmer, I'm getting 20-25 flowers to cut from each double peony now that they have reached 6 years old (while still leaving plenty of foliage for the plants health. On plants with single flowers I get 30+ flowers. So you will have LOTS of each color.

Peonies are my FAVORITE flowers! It makes me so happy to see someone else gushing about them, too. I only have ten peonies in my suburban garden. I'm looking to add to that collection, but it's difficult to decide on varieties. So many choices...and I'm a Libra. 🥴 Of the varieties I have, 'Paula Faye' is #1 on my list, I have two. They're early so I have to look quick before they're finished. The display is breathtaking. I have a 'Do Tell' next to my driveway for about 20 years. It hasn't been as abundant in blooms lately and I am considering lifting it. Perhaps it's gotten buried under amendments and mulch. I have a "hedge" of peonies under my bedroom window. 'Gay Paree' and a similar style whose name escapes me. It's funny, I bought them from a peony farmer and told him the size of the space. I thought 5 plants should fit. He said, "No. 3 is enough." Wow! He was right. They grow as big as a shrub. I also bought 'Moonstone' variety because the farmer said that was his favorite. I stored that plant in my garage for ten years! I couldn't decide where to plant it. I'd bring it outside every summer to get some sun. Toward the end, it was a spindly single stem. I finally planted it 3 years ago. This year, oh my! It had 16 gorgeous white double blooms. Heavy blooms. I always intend to harvest buds at the marshmallow stage to extend the season and you can miss it by one day. I'm in Minneapolis, Minnesota (recently rezoned to 5a) and we've had really hot springs and even hotter summers with little rain. The latter helps keep the mildew at bay. I've always cut back the foliage at end of season, but this year didn't get around to it at my usual time. The fall color was spectacular. Deep russet red. In future, I won't be so hasty to clean up. I have a couple blush/white peonies that came with the house so I don't know their names. They bloom at different times so they're probably different varieties. I have a magenta that was gorgeous in the beginning, but neglect and weeds have diminished its beauty. I planned to move it this fall, again, timing. Next year. It sent a runner a couple feet away. I didn't know peonies could spread in that way. I want to order plants now so I don't miss out. 'Angel Cheeks' is on the list. I'd heard about the fragrance. I'm thinking of trying 'Itoh' peonies to replace some out-of-control Ilex shrubs to shield a front patio area. I loke that peonies die back to the ground. Makes snow shoveling easier.

My Pink Hawaiian Coral were spectacular last year. And I say that having Coral Charm too.

❤ looking forward ❤

Need MORE VIDEOS, please. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fav is Do Tell. I like a good contrast as my first foray this year include Buckeye Belle & Bowl of Love. I also have Angel Cheeks and my white is Shirley Temple.

Would love to see the creamy yellow ones you mentioned.

I have been watching you and your farm. My son is starting an organic vegi farm, and I am wanting to have a small flower farm. I'm picking up a lot from your teaching. Was going to ask why are you not growing peonies? I will be watching, very excited! How about dahlias? We are looking to relocate from Florida to Tennesse. Love your farm ❤

You’re making me think that my two peonies are nowhere near enough!

Love peonies

Green Halo and Green Lotus 💚🌿

exciting. would loved to have had a small tutorial on how to plant those roots. How deep? which end up? etc thx

I don't think trends matter that much with peonies, considering how they look and smell. Beauty is beauty!

I hope you get to choose your shipping date. In Alberta, we're usually under a few feet of snow already!

Wish you’d invest in big equipment to make your life easier. Getting more plants in would be great

Serina! Dont leave me hanging! ata the 28:05 mark you talked about a creamy yellow peony you wanted to purchase but didnt....what variety are you talking about? "Do Tell" LOL ( I had to do it") ....also do you have a dark pink magenta like colour peony? Such as Karl Rosenfield? blessings from Ontario :)

I love peony roots!! I could look at each one of them one by one if you were to show each root division :) FYI - all the coral charm peonies will grow from ANY root devision , doesn't have to be an eye for them to start a new plant, all varieties of coral charm could be grown from a tiny peace of root, just gonna take longer, other peony varieties , especially hybrids need eye and /or piece of their old woody root to grow, so dont mess with them obviously , but you could divide half of your corals to double your crop easily right away !! there is a Russian peony enthusiast on youtube Lena Nova Peony , she actually has a ton of videos where she explains how to divide peony roots properly

Peony Itoh Orange Victory is an orange one!!

I think for the coming up year you should try growing a certain type of exotic fruit that no one eles has too so it can help bring more people into the flower too

Gotta spend money to make money. 🌲💚🙃

Miss America, Ann Cousin, Bowl of Cream. Any of whites for florists. Old Faithful, all corals for flower shops

I know you do cut flower arrangements. Have you ever thought of selling pots and hanging baskets. Start your annuals in the green house, by seeds and cuttings. Then make nice arrangements. Like a center plant then surround the bottom with petunias,super bells etc.

I hope you sell the roots too

Paeonia lactiflora 'Duchesse de Nemours' a white with pale yellow centers!

Pics of coral varieties are a bit misleading, they're shown right before petals fell of, they are much brighter. Love those. Of those which you dont have in this order I love mothers choice, old faithful. What else... owen cousins, obviously pastelegance and etched salmon but those are quite expensive. Light yellows like sunny girl, sunny boy, lemon chiffon i like theoretically - havent seen those in person.

Самый лучший пион всех времен и народов - Сара Бернар. В России его очень любят и покупают в первую очередь в любых количествах. Удачи и процветания вашей ферме. С любовью из России💕🇷🇺

I saw a peony that was a double with a wine colour to it. So beautiful. The time it takes to come to where it's ready for picking gives you time to improve the soil add in nutrients so you get maximum blooms. Exciting to see these as photos, waiting for the real blooms later.

I wish you did a master class about peonies! Last year I got excited about them from you video then and I bought like 10 plants bare root that I put on the ground past autumn here, I live in Argentina, south America. In my little not developed town they don't know much about plants even in the small kind of nurseries here. So I don't know much about growing them. What it means not to cut the flower if you do have one in the first year? Just to leave it in the ground to die by its own? Where I can find a list of the different peonies flowering in different times? Sorry! You got me so excited!!! ❤

What about tree pronies? Like rockii hybrids? Are they good for cut flowers?

🔥🔥🔥Can you pls tell us where purchased. i’m in US zone 5

How do you manage your Peony patch over your hot dry summer/autumn?

The Angel Cheeks look so cute!!

$18/each?! Wowzers.

Did you ever think of CSA? Might take the stress off you, soynds lije you have a good base of regular customers. Farmers markets can be extra.

Planting now?!?! December?!?!

Just wondering where you purchased your peonies from …. I am from Ontario just starting a market garden, looking for wholesale suppliers.💐

Where are the burgundy ones ❤😊

where did you buy all these Peony's? seller details please? Want to order for next fall . TIA

!

When you have a big order like that, how much is shipping as a part of the total cost?

sorry- but won't these peonies reproduce over the years and need to be split? And, will they need to be tied up to hold the weight of the flowers? I am US- and our peonies bloom for 2 weeks and get so top heavy they fall over the MINUTE they start to open.

How do you get rid of all of the ants that they will have on them when they are picked?

Amazing collection. You are thinking long term. I love my pink peonies, which flower in a part shade setting. All your peonies look great - i think the coral ones looked the most unique. I think considering the time when they bloom, the pink, coral and white are your best bet. The red and maroon ones also are bright and good but probably not as useful for spring/ early summer bouquets.

Just under 750 peoples to plant! Just 750?!? Going back to finish the video-

Less and less weddings. Maybe be open.inded to funerals too
