You need to take some form of Acidophilus a few times a day. You can get this in the vitamin section of a drug store or health food shoppe. In your situation I would use from a health food shoppe and not the cheaper brands from a drug store. Acidophilus is also in yogurt, but you need more than that will provide. It will help balance your intestinal bacteria, especially if you take antibiotics. If you have taken a lot of antibiotics in the past, this may be all you need to correct an imbalance in your gut. If this doesn't help after a week or so, see your doctor. But continue to take the Acidophilus as well. ... View related article.

They are easy to transplant, although I don't know which is the best season to divide Peonies. I would think any season, but especially early spring and late fall for the best success.

You can take these or take your spade and cut right into the parent plant.
After I got mine from a friend several years ago, they did not produce for the first year or two, but that's okay, now I have so many to enjoy. They were white for many years, but this year I have some that are a light pink. Something I have noticed is that every year when my Peonies are blooming, we have rain and the rain soon washes the petals off. I try to enjoy the cuttings before the rain does this. This year we have had the rain but mine bloomed later so the rain hasn't gotten them yet but I expect it to as the blooms mature.
