Name Derivation:
'Cologne'
The German city of Cologne was founded in the 1st century as the Roman Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium. In 39 BC the Germanic tribe of the Ubii entered into an agreement with the forces of the Roman General Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and settled on the left bank of the Rhine. Their headquarters was Oppidum Ubiorum (settlement of the Ubii) and at the same time an important Roman military base. In 50 AD the Cologne-born Agrippina the Younger, wife of the Emperor Claudius, asked for her home village to be raised to the status of a colonia — a city under Roman law. It was then renamed Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensis (colony of Claudius and the altar of Agrippina), shortened to Colonia Agrippina (Colony of Agrippina). In 80 AD the Eifel Aqueduct was built. It was one of the longest aqueducts of the Roman Empire, delivering 20,000 cubic metres of water to the city every day. Ten years later, the colonia became the capital of the Roman province of Lower Germany, Germania Inferior, with a total population of 45,000 people.

About Cologne a pink peony flower
The fall is truly the correct period for growing peony plants. Pretty much all peonies tend to be incredibly long-term-lived plants functioning for approximately fifty up to seventy years, so soon after you have the peonies placed correctly, a person will certainly benefit from them for many years. The plants have a preference for a bright area having a well-drained dirt. A good air flow circulation presented around the peonie can also be significant. These kind of circumstances allow these plants to prevent disease problems. To prepare the planting hole meant for a bareroot peony plant, dig the dirt to the level of 12-18inches.
