Peony Season Three

In previous posts I have mentioned that Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise is one of my favorite place to photograph with all the beautiful peony and other flowers they have on display.

That hasn't changed. So, here are some more pics for you to enjoy!

Please help support my blog by checking out these recommended products through Amazon: (If you buy a product I receive a small commission)

1) Peonies by Allen Rogers  (Al Rogers has been growing peonies since childhood, and this book represents more than 60 years' experience. Peonies are treasured by gardeners for their longevity, lush foliage, rich fragrance, and landscape uses. Captured within these pages are not only the flavor, charm, and history of the peony and its hybridizers but also expert information about the genus Paeonia and its many cultivars.)

2) Peonies (Firefly Gardener's Guide) ( The dazzling peony with its generous blooms is revered and treasured in North America as it has been for centuries in its country of origin, China. Peonies is a comprehensive guide to selecting and growing the best species and hybrids for every region and garden condition.)

3) The Gardener's Peony [Illustrated] ( The Chinese have been growing tree peonies for 1600 years but these exotic plants still make a novel addition to the Western garden. A full-size plant bearing dozens of flowers is an awesome sight and the selection here includes the best of the Chinese and Japanese cultivar ranges, the classic hybrids and the sought-after hybrids raised by Arthur Saunders in the 1930s that range in colour from yellow to mahogany-red.)

Peony Season Two

This is the latest post about the Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise in Brooks, Oregon. It is one of my favorite places to go to photograph because of the beautiful setting and, all the varieties of peony they grow.

And, yes! They didn't win "Best of Show" seven of the last ten years at the American Peony Convention by having dumpy-looking peonies. They have their "ducks lined up"!

Peony Season

If there is a better place to check out peonies I don't know where it's at. I'm talking about the Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise in Brooks, Oregon...not too far north of Salem!

Their name is kind of a mouthful but, they have the most beautiful peony gardens you will ever run across. It's not a gigantic conglomerate but, let's just say, "quality before quantity".

To give you a few examples of just how cool their peonies are: Their tree peony "Hephestos" was "Best of Show" at the 2012 American Peony Society.  OK! They have been awarded "Best of Show" seven of the last 10 years.  Not to mention all the other categories they have won awards for.

Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise | Four

This is the fourth and last post on Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise in Salem, Oregon.  It's a shame that certain flowers are not in bloom all year long, like peonies but that is nature's way.

We have to enjoy them while they are here.  The last photo here is of their great water feature they have in the middle of the garden.

If you missed the first three posts here are all the links to the series: Post One...Post Two...Post Three

Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise | Two

This is the second post on Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise (See Post One Here).  Peonies are absolutely beautiful flowers and really didn't realize how many different varieties there are until we visited their Gardens.

If you are visiting Oregon in the springtime this is definitely a must place to visit.  You might think you are seeing dew drops on the peonies...it's was raining pretty good when I took these photos.
