paeony

Lovely, Helen. Is that quite early ?

I think so TT but not sure as this is the first time it has flowered. I got it 2years ago.

We love peonies - Helen, can I ask what the name of this one is please as we don't have red! Beautiful!

I bought a peony 'felix crousse' a few weeks ago, which I think is the same colour as this one, it hasn't got any buds on it though but it does say it flowers June and July. Maybe I won't get any flowers from it this year.

Lovely red. Is it a tree peony Helen? Mine is in big bud but would not expect it to bloom yet.

yes it is a tree one Dorjac.

A Beauty mine as just started flowering, quite a bit later than yours though!

Now I'm confused about when and why peonies come into bloom !

I think mine was quite early but I am not sure

Tree peonies do seem to bloom a few weeks earlier than ordinary peonies. At least mine does here in Essex.
