At the beginning of May i posed a question as to what the 2 tubers were i found in a black plastic pot...No one seemed to know really and then Dorjac suggested Paeony...We left it at that....and now look at them!!...I dont think they're Paeony, but i haven't a clue!!!...:>)

They don't look like paeony leaves to me but I can't give a positive i.d. either!

i'd say definiately not paeony. how about mirabilis japonica or incarvellia [leaf is wrong for this i think?
i have seen these before and it is bugging me now.

Been Google imaging......looks like they might have been Mirabilis Jalapa seeds you planted out....four o'clock plant...as that's when the flowers come out in places that don't have BST.

« What do other members use for staking Paeony's? This year my two year old...
I think Dorjac may still be right about them being Paeony?
