Looks like a Shield bug from this angle, but I'm no expert!

Ahh, thank you :o)
I've now looked up shield bugs and learnt that they are also known as stink bugs and are eaten in Mexico because "their pungent odour gives the dish an aromatic flavour" - fascinating, but I think I'll leave them in the garden!

What else?
See who else is growing Paeonia lutea (Tibetan Peony).
See who else has plants in genus Paeonia.
