Paeonia Delavayi var. Lutea

Hello Wagger ~
If it was a bird brought in the seed, that was a very pretty present.
I guess if I you fed Paeonia seed to the birds, it would be your neighbour's gardens where all the new Paeonia would appear. :o)
Maybe it will be third time lucky.
Welcome to GoY.
Enjoy.

Hi Wagger, welcome to GOY

Hi, Welcome from me too.

The natural gifts are the best ones :o)
belated welcome to Goy... :o) i'm slow

i've come via your blog..
its so petty. how long did it take to flower after you found it?

I can't remember if it was three or four years, Sandra but the foliage was so distinctive and attractive that I was prepared to wait to confirm what I thought it was. Of course it's now in totally the wrong place and at least if I lose it moving it I will have replacements.

They come up as seedlings the following spring just from falling to the ground in my garden, so i assume they prefer not being dried out.

I purchased this peony 5 years ago and it's growing nicely on my peony garden. I made the mistake of cutting it down like an herbaceous peony and so, my resulting plant has my shoots just like a lilac when cut back.

Ilovepeonies and this was my very first tree peony!
