How super Bjs 2 have grow your Own Peony!!! Its a Beautiful Colour & Shape :) Well Done You :D

Lovely

They are gorgeous :-))))))))))))))))))))))))

Im not having much luck with mine, perhaps I should try growing on from seed. Do you need a heated progator? Your peony is beautiful.well done.

Thank you bjs ... I did enjoy. What a fab colour ... & a real achievement to have grown it from seed.

Lovely pics and it is a beautiful flower. well done on growing it from seed, such patience :~)

Great
never any heat , they germinate in the sand plunge on my glass house
staging i just poke holes in the sand and drop them in ,The sand is always damp and the ones that are viable germinate after about 9-12 months the one you are looking at is 5-6 years old from germination.

You can be justifiably proud of yourself, it's gorgeous.

well done it is a stunner.

That is marvellous.!!!!!!...you must be feeling very proud to have produced such a beautiful bloom. :-o)

It's very pretty. It looks like silk

Hywel Smooth and floppy, quite tactile that's my best description .have felt something like it before in a past life.lol

lol :o)

They are very beautiful! And well-done to you, Brian! :) How did it take to start flowering?

They had 2 flowers in 2009 that was 5 years from germination.6 this year.I have under estimated the size of the plant it looks like it will swamp the Camellia next to it
my Tenuifolia dried up as well.
Brian

This is absolutely stunning!

At that size of flower it must be atree paeony. It is beautiful.

Yes. but not more than about 5ft high.

This is beautiful is this a tree peony? its a great fulfilment when you grow it yourself from seed.

Yes it is a tree Peony, but not tall like Lutea.My seed originally came from a friend who has had it many years,and it's about 5 ft high.however i have under esimated the spread and it is already alongside a nice Camelia one is going to have to move

I thought it was, the rarest one is the orange and yellow ones so I have read. What a shame you have to move one, hope either transfers ok.

That will be a late autumn job

Let me know how it got on being transfered which ever you chose as I have both of these kind of plants, in case I ever need to have mine transplanted.

Love the colour, I'm going to have a go at sowing my Peony seeds from my yellow flowering one, do you know what colour the flowers were of the Peony the seeds came from??? I have my Yellow Peony on my pictures.

Lady
The original plant was identical the flower shown.i have covered the seed pods in muslin other wise the squirrels eat them.just hope there is seed in the pods when they burst.

What a good idea Bjs covering them in muslin, shall get my grandchildren to do it for me as I have squirrels. By the way the fern offer, have you thought of photoing where they are, as I did reply on Lindas ferns to you. Thats how I have found my plants by going back on my pictures, taking photos of the area of which they are planted.

Mmmmm! I think I wii make some little netting bags for mine lol.
Do you know if you can take cuttings ??? from a Peony & when???. Jackie

Jackie An interesting question i have never tried, but it did occur to me herbaceous ones would be difficult as they die back to the ground in winter, so i googled it .That confirmed only tree peonies can be taken as cuttings,they of course retain the stem throughout winter.the method shown is as long a process as seed,have a look you may be tempted.On the seed i saw a method shown where they advocate germination in 3 months could be worth a try but I think seed will more than likely rot
will catch up on your last private message soon .You confused me to.
