Peonies

Old Time Peony Collection (White Flower Farm Photo)
Today I planted the 3 peonies that arrived from White Flower Farm - white, pink and red. The first of the fall blooming crocuses is up and purple. The garlic is sprouting which apparently is okay, but the anemones are also sprouting which I think is a problem. Looking online to find more of those, I'm worried these will fail. The dahlia is going to town - covered in red blooms with white tips. Once the frost kills it off I will need to figure out whether to to put the bulb in the ground or a pot next year - maybe the basement stairs are a good temperature for this?
