First bloom on the Tree Paeony
Warmer days are ahead when our species Tree Paeony (Paeonia lutea var.ludlowii)
Gorgeous picture and bloom. Ours are a little behind yours. It will probably be another week. Our herbaceous peony is blooming this week - paeonia mlokosewitschii. It is usually our first.

such bright yellow and orange... beautiful... really beautiful...
THanks Nevin it is a bloom we always welcome
Wow! that is lovely.
There are many incredible flowering plants out here on the west coast but I've never seen one of those before. It's gorgeous.
Glorious! Such warm colours...As good as last year!
We're a long way from this: daffs still out here
You have a garden? Oh joy.
how sunny and happy
THanks. It was in the Garden when we bought the place. I guess that it is probably 22-25 years old.
I don't know anyone else with a species tree paeony in their garden, especially in a relatively small and narrow one like we have
Gorgeous! I've never heard of these (tree paeonies)

It's a beauty from China Knatolee. It grows upto 4m tall
The Caucasus paeony sounds wonderful. A lot shorter than the Ludlowii though!
