Peonies transplants are happy

With the house I inherited two stunning peony plants that someone must have planted long ago. After I cleared out all the trees and sumac and other weeds out of the overgrown back beds in the spring of 2007, several hidden treasures emerged the following spring including these, which bloomed profusely even though they were partially buried under a stone wall (photo from May 31 2008):

To make way for the rest of my vegetable bed that I planned for this season, last fall I moved this peony to the front where it would get more sun and divided its neighbor--moving half to the upper bed where it might get a little less sun but hopefully will still bloom--and half to the front. I've read that it may take a few years after moving for them to bloom again, but today I spotted three little buds on the large one. It is really shooting up this month:

The smaller one I divided shows no signs of budding but is growing well:
