I have my grandma's peonies and also some of her tiger lilies. The story I was told is that she loved tiger lilies but had no luck growing them. Every year she would get some bulbs and plant them only to have them not come back in the next year. After she died in 1958 they started to grow like crazy all around the old farm house. As a kid I remember them growing up in the cracks of the sidewalk. I always think of her when they start to bloom.
