A stunning Peony Michael!

Mine was also looking good, the flowers this year are huge.
When I eventually got round to taking some photographs the blue sky was replaced by dark ominous clouds.


Then the heavens opened up and we were hit by a hail storm!

Gorgeous flowers, what a pity - but what a good thing you took photographs!

Here the first peony to flower this year was P.kavachensis two days ago and today pink P.obovata and P.veitchii have also started to flower. :)

Irm, 'White Innocence' looks very nice.  :)

Here the species have started to flower in the past week, first P.kavachensis, then P.obovata which went by very quickly because of the heat. P.kavachensis kept it's flowers much better in warm weather, I wish I had more of the mascula type peonies.
P.daurica ssp mlokosewitchii is also flowering and P.anomala, second generation from the wild collection, is growing very well and forming a large clump, I can imagine how good it will look in a few more years.

 Not a good idea at all, Chas - I think you should dig the whole plant up and send it to me!!    ;D ;D ;D ;)
