Năm nay winter dai dẳng & lạnh quá chừng chừng mà vườn hoa Mẫu-Đơn vẫn đâm chồi nẩy lộc & hoa rất to, tuy không nhiều bằng năm rồi.
Nhưng vẫn rất đẹp.
Đợt đầu cỏ hoa nở rộ là : Tree peony gần cuối tháng 5, còn Herbaceous peony đến đầu & giữa tháng 6.
Nhìn hoa góc nhà ai cũng đẹp, nhất là mấy hôm nay nhà của anh Cường - Thu. Annual thì nở rộ màu sắc suốt mùa hè.
Md đa phần trồng Peony & Clematis – perennials, nên chỉ có hoa vào late spring and early summer.
Md có 2 cây wild rose, summer cũng có hoa nhiều lắm.
Trồng long-stem Rose chỉ sống được 2 năm là không trở lại nữa vì Ottawa thuộc về Zone 5
Winter start in late October to early April, cỏ bắt đầu xanh vào cuối tháng 4 .Rau trái bắt đầu thu họach vào mùa Thu, khỏang tháng 9.

peonies are outrageously beautiful in bloom, with lush foliage all summer long. These perennials may live longer than you do—some have been known to thrive for 100 years. The plants require little maintenance as long as they are planted properly and establish themselves; they do not respond well to transplanting.
Peonies take your breath away every spring. They're hardy to Zone 3 and grow well as far south as Zones 7 and 8. In most of the country, the rules for success are simply full sun and well-drained soil. Peonies even relish cold winters, because they need chilling for bud formation
Peonies make fine sentinels lining walkways and a lovely low hedge. After its stunning bloom, the peony's bushy clump of handsome glossy green leaves lasts all summer, and then turns purplish or gold in the fall, as stately and dignified as any shrub.
In mixed borders, peonies bloom with columbines, baptisias, and veronicas, and combine well with irises and roses. Plant white peonies with yellow irises and a froth of forget-me-nots; set off pink peonies with blue Nepeta or violets.
· Peonies like full sun, and though they can manage with half a day, they bloom best in a sunny spot.
Peonies are generally very hearty. They are prone to Verticillium wilt, ringspot virus, tip blight, stem rot, Botrytis blight, left blotch, Japanese beetle, and nematodes.
Many gardeners wonder why so many ants crawl on the peony buds. They are eating nectar in exchange for attacking bud-eating pests. Never spray the ants; they're helping you nurture peonies to bloom.
