Rare and beautiful Tree Peonies - what a treat to see it flowering like this.  I wonder how long it has taken for them to reach this size?

Interesting plants - perfectly grown (and photographed)!
Excuse me - but I don't know why you said - the flowers of P. jishanensis don't open fully. Do you mean in comparison to other tree peonies?

Gerd :

The flowers of P.jishanensis are really strange for me -I have waiting yesterday always if the opend ....today the same - I think thats the maximum.
Normaly the flowers of treepeonies are open ...

John : this is a P. delavayii

Delicious paeonies, Hans. I like that they stay cup-shaped.

Hans,

Are these tree paeonies? In the same style as P. delavayi - growing to tall woody shrubs? I have never seen the like; they are outstanding, beautiful. Presumably from seed?

Hans,

Love that quii... such wonderful ruffling to it.  Beautiful!! :o

John,

What a lovely coloured delaveyi.  I've only seen brownish ones, but yours appears to be much deeper in colouration.  Excellent! 8)

John, I think yours is a very nice form or possibly close hybrid of P. delavayi. Is it scented? Delavayi usually is, in my experience.

Super plants and pictures Hans. Just what we'd expect from you. :)
