I was playing spot the peony in the first image...  :)

Tree peonies here have been battered somewhat - first flowering on an "ostii" is having to do its first flowering in a vase as both shoots broke off.

If the weather had been kinder, this would have been magnificent -  plant obtained as P. rockii UK form from Rivieres;

All beautiful! It is the peonies time in Ontario as well and with the unusual warm weather the flowers are fading fast.

A chance cross of P. japonica x mascula flowering for the first time (last week).


Paeonia japonica, also done by now.


My first peony raised from seeds has also flowered P. mlokosewitchii
690400-2

And P. tenuifolia enjoying the hot sun.

Gabriela, very beautiful. Your peonies are earlier than mine. Here only P.mairei opened today and P.japonica shows little white, but is not open yet.

Tree Peony

They look so very much at home at the edge of the trees.

Here the P. rockii is in flower and not for long with the heat wave experienced right now.

Gail, Gabriela thanks.

I will be planting more seedlings in the Fall. Two years ago, started another hedge on top of another bank.

Anyone have tips on getting them to branch out? I haven't cut them back. Thought maybe I might start feeding them and see what happens.

Happy Victoria Day to all from Canada.

I'm sure you have all heard of and have had "a bad hair day".  Well call this a bad name day.

In Ken's garden on Saturday the  highlight is Paeonia mlokosewitschii in a superb form from the late Ron Pal of Mosswood Nursery near Victoria, BC.  Beneath it is the not so little cartoon character Allium pskemense which always brings a smile.

The Paeonia was raised a few inches about 8 years ago and went into a serious slide but this year it is back to its former vigorous self.

Paeonia wittmanniana, blooming earlier this month.  The color is much paler than 'Molly the Witch'.  The name seems to have changed to either Paeonia daurica ssp. macrophylla or P. d. ssp wittmanniana.  Regardless, it's a beauty.

Counsel of perfection is to be brave and cut them back or they do just get leggy - and then the weather often does the pruning for you. Voice of experience here as I've had three stems broken off mine this year...
As you've got several you can always experiment; cut one hard back, the next just tip prune and the third leave and see which gives the best results.

This is a garden hybrid with very big pinkish white flowers. The mother is a P mlokosewitschii and the only possible pollen donor is a P mollis as no neighbour keeps any early flowering Paeonias, if any at all. I wish it could tell me why its flower is so much bigger than these speciesn

And why why why, forum fairy, are all my photos published rotated? The flower should be looking to the left.
