Peone - white

This plant was given to me by an elderly neighbour who died over 2 years ago. I've had it for about 5 years and it has never flowered before. Sadly, the original large plant in his front garden was taken out when his children 'simplified' the garden for him just before he died :(

How nice that you should still have a plant from his to remember him by Gee, I remember him, is it really 2 years already ?

Sorry, Yorkshire, I've no idea of its name. It reallyvis two years already, Amy, but it is so nice that a lovely older couple have bought his bungalow and have made new flower beds, put up new picket fencing, etc. It is all looking lovely :)

I think we are all having that problem lol! Does it have a lovely smell? Could be Duchesse de Nemours.

I couldn't get close enough to sniff, Tetrarch! It only had this one flower, the other bud rotted in the very mis-timed heavy rain :(

Have a look at Kelways or Binny plants. You might find out what it is from either of them.
