Peony "Bowl of Beauty"

lovely - lucky to see this open :):):)

That is just the same as the one you saw on my page last year, so pleased you got one, it is a special one, love it, mine doesn't look too well after the very cold winter, it has a flower head on it but it looks to be struggling. Hope it manages to survive, but at least we now know what it is called if I need to replace it.

Yes Oliveoil.....I fell in love with yours last year as you remember. I was determined to have one. I hope yours survive! Mine has one more flower bud at the moment.

Thanks Paul, I have a look everyday....it's getting lighter and lighter in color.

ωραία παιωνία.

Hope that is a good comment, lol wish I could read Greek, any translators please.

LOL....he wrote "beautiful Peony".

Thanks Bik.

Oh to be multi-lingual - or maybe just able to speak and spell correctly in english would do!! lol. Bik is certainly correct when he said it was beautiful,lol. love it!!

Love Peonies! Unfortunately, they can't grow here...it's much too warm in winter.

I love Peonies too....I'm so glad they do grow here. This is the first time I'm growing them so I was kind of worried.

Alexandarmou:

I would be especially concerned! The herbaceous types need the most chilling hours. If they don't consistently get enough chilling hours over a couple winters the plant will usually die.

The previous chilling hours are counteracted by temps above 70F/21C, 80F/27C and 90F/32C...we get these high temps here in San Diego every winter (especially inland where I live).

Delonix,
We now know that they grow and bloom well on Corfu.
I have three herbaceous and four tree peonies.

Alexandramou:

From what I know the tree peonies need a lot less chilling.
