When it is closed, it is as large as a newborn´s head. When it opens, it is as large, as the plate.

wow, that's spectacular! does it have perfume? mind you, being as big as that is probably enough to attract pollinators!

Yes, it has a very nice perfume. Garden air is filled with it in the evening.

Tree peonies grow up into the size of medium shrub. Which is very impressive, when it blooms.
