Lovely, don't know why but the white always remind me of ice-cream!!!!

LOL :)

Am still waiting for mine to flower! Maybe next year.....

Yours will be all right next year! Fingers crossed :)

I will go out and tell it that you said that Tommy, and see if that does the trick! LOL!

Thanks for passing my word to your peony Flori! LOL~~~ :~)

You do know that it's all down to you now, don't you Tommy! LOL! :~)))x

Gorgeous...I want one too.

Thanks Alexandramou. I love peonies and I want more! The flowers look lovely in the garden and they make good cut flowers too.

I've ordered a few....can't wait to get them.

Really? How nice! What colour? I'd love to have yellow ones. Maybe I'm going to buy one next spring. Maybe~.

I've ordered "Bowl of beauty", a light pink double one, a dark pink tree paeony,,,,,then I have five different kinds peony seeds germinating (I hope). But I have a long wait for the flowers to pop up.

I have "Bowl of beauty" too. I bought three different peony tubers and planted them out this spring. I've heard that it would take about three years to flower, but one (Bowl of beauty) flowered! So you don't know. If you are lucky, you won't have to wait too long.

The one I planted in full sun had a hard time, though. The leaves were sunburned and I had to cut them all off. Still, the tuber might be okay, so I haven't abandoned my hope.. just yet. But maybe I should move it somewhere else.

You have five different peony seeds in the pipeline? Wow, how exciting! Look forward to seeing the flowers.

LOL...let's hope we see a plant first.
Now you really made my day, maybe I don't have to wait three years to see a flower..(one of the plants is two year old) .I'm going to have to be really careful about where I'm going to plant them. If yours got sunburnt then mine will be in big trouble in the summer.

LOL.
Our place got really really hot this summer. One day the temperature shot up to 36 degrees (c) in the shade and 40 plus in the sun. That was a massive attack! Poor peony. I feel for it.

Is your peony is England or in France?

In France. The temperature here in England seldom goes up to 30 degrees.

That's what I thought. I've been going to the post office every day this week waiting for my peony.....post clerk is getting a kick out of it. I can't wait anymore.

Oh my goodness, everyday? Don't be ratty, Alexandra!! -- I didn't mean it; I know how you feel.

LOL. Well Tommymoo it said to be planted right away......I can't have it sitting in the post office!!! I'm so excited, it feels like christmas. I was thinking I'm going to have to plant it in a pot for now because my garden isn't ready yet for planting.

Yes, you don't want your precious things sitting around with papers and the like. Where are they coming from? Netherlands?

The UK. I would like to have one from Japan. Just so that I would know it's from Japan. Maybe I can go there and sneak one back...;o)

LOL :o) I'm going to Japan next February. It'd be nice if I could buy one for you (and for me too) but I don't know because I always have lots to bring back. Let's see :D

Lucky you. That would be something special. More sneaking going on......lol

LOL
Definitely :D
