Some pictures of today in my garden.

Unfortunately my P. algeriensis was already over, so I was unable to take a picture of the flower...

Cheers
Thank you for the nice pictures; especially P. algeriensis tekas my attention; it is very rare; I have never seen it in flower.
Do you grow your tenuifolia in full sun?

Dear Hendrik,

My tenuifolia grows together with algeriensis, decomposita and mlokosewitschii on an south facing slope on the east side of the house. therfore they get only morning and noon sun. In the afternoon it is shaded by the house.

Here a flower of the algeriensis in 2005

Here's my Paeonia anomola. We had a discussion about the plant last year (incidentally I posted it last year on 20 May-funny old year this one!!) and I think the opinion was, on the one part that my plant was P. veitchii; and on the second part it was P. anomola ssp veitchii. The plant in the botton left hand corner is P. cambessedesii that I bought from Wisley at the beginning of the month and is now way past it's best.

Herewith Paeonia parnassica!
This plant is extremely rare and the colour is unique!

Superb plant and extrordinary colour!
As I know one of the tricky paeonias, congratulation!

Gail,
Your P. tenuifolia rosea is quite different from mine.  My rosea is not nearly as salmon colored.  On close inspection flowers are actually white with an overlay of red or dark pink veining.  Most people in my location find tenuifolia to be difficult to keep alive.  It does not grow well in wet conditions.  I grow it in raised beds that contain sand for good drainage.  It has multiplied fast for me.

My P ten rosea did not bloom well this year.  Below (I hope) is a photo that I took in 2008.

I generally only try to grow plants that don't want to grow here.

Leon,
My Rosea does fade a bit as the flower matures.  It came from Will McLewin's Phedar nursery.  Bressingham Gardens in Norfolk has (or had, I haven't been for a while) a lovely big planting of Rosea that looks more like yours.
