[ruweiss]

Paeonia mlokosewitschii, the flowers are more yellow as the camera can show.
Paeonia Chamaeleon flowers changed their colour from dark to light within 6 days.

P. mlokosewitchii has such a wonderful yellow!

Here is Paeonia qiui - a fairly rare woody peony where the dard reddish purple foliage contrasts nicely with the flowers before turning green.

   I see you've only managed to grow a little one, Philip !

 What a gorgeous plant  - how old is it? 

[Chris Johnson]

Paeonia tenuifolia

That's a healthy looking plant, Anne. I used to grow it in my previous garden but never very successfully.

Beautiful, Anne.  One of the very best flowers.   

The Paeonies are not that far  advanced here so nice to see these all doing so well in other gardens.

Thank you, Chris and Maggi. P. tenuifolia seems to like gritty ground and dry summers... And the flower is over in the blink of an eye.

We had very warm days so the tree peonys are almost over. P. suffructicosa 'Shimane chojuraku' is suffering from strong winds. It has become so top heavy that I will have to cut it down a bit...

[Maggi Young]

Anne! What are you doing to me?  These flowers make me dizzy they are so pretty.

[Anne Repnow]

  ... and they are the size of a football...

[Maggi Young]

oh my! Now see what you've done!

[Philip Walker]

Maggi-sorry,just seen your Q.
This is the 5th year flowering and a number of years waiting for flowers.It's from seed,so I'm very lucky to have got a decent colour.

[Maggi Young]

It is a super plant Philip  - I reckon you have scored there!
