Beautiful flowers. My screen is showing that first peony in your latest post Guff as a vibrant true purple - is that how it looks in life?

Gail, yes the purple looks just like the picture when it first opens then it turns a darker shade.

Very lovely! I'm envious of the Paeonia suffruticosa 'Hephestos' Stefan posted too. I ordered one but it turned out to be a creamy coloured cultivar which was not what I wanted...

[Gabriela]

Paeonia suffruticosa 'Hephestos' it's charming.

Some species peonies had a short flowering here due to unusual warm weather, now the P. officinalis and P. tenuifolia are in flower.
P. japonica


P. mascula


One form of P. officinalis

I have wanted to have it for many years. It has been blooming in my garden for three years now.

 Not sure what they are- he "suggested" paying for  his coffee - but I don't know!!

[Stefan B.]

Wonderful 5 euro coin from Greece. I will buy more than one coffee with her

[Gabriela]

Yes, very nice coin. I would keep it as a token, instead of buying coffee

Paeonia peregrina from seeds with the first flower, so it deserves a mention and I have the image at the right size.
