PEONY WEEKEND 2006


Over 50 flowering varieties
On June 4 and 5, during Whitsuntied, we held the second Peony Weekend in succession in The Gardens of Appeltern. The peony borders were at their fines, with the most spectacular varieties - the hybrids - in full bloom. Combined with the varieties we displayed in vases, we presented over 50 flowering varieties of Paeonia during this weekend.


Many visitors especially came for just the peonies.

Gorgeous weather
May 2006 was extremely wet and windy with low temperatures. Many varieties flowered somewhat later than we had anticipated and hoped for. Early June it all fell together after all, and we were able to show many vases of fine peony varieties amidst spectacular peony borders. During this peony weekend the weather was very pleasent. Opposite to last year the WeatherGods were in our favour!

Peony lovers
Among the visitors were many people who especially came for this Peony Weekend. A good part of the visitors came from our surrounding countries (Germany and Belgium). Many brought their burning peony questions, to which we did our very best to answer them to satisfaction. Buying a bunch of peony cutflowers for in the vase, and ordering new varieties for planting in the garden were also popular things that went on this weekend.

Beautiful weather, beautiful site!

A very succesfull weekend
The Peony Weekend 2006 was a great weekend. It has been a great opportunity to put the genus Paeonia in the spotlights, and many people came for this. Personally, for us this weekend is probably the finest weekend of the year, talking passionately about peonies with peony enthousiasts, and getting as much people as possible acquainted with the beautiful world of peonies. And all of this in a surrounding of hundreds of flowering peonies. There surely is no better way to spend the time for us!


WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR !
