Be careful Chas, tree peonies are very addictive. A bit like snowdrops...and daphnes...and maple trees.

Well I have been out and done a recce this morning,and can report that one 3 ships is in flower :) and quite a few noses of others just starting to break the surface....
Same here Chas - 'Three Ships' is just starting - a whole month earlier than last year.  And so many other noses are on their way skyward.  At this rate - If this mild season continues everything is going to be flowering for Christmas!

Miss the Kinderdijk windmills on a frosty morning?  Ice on the water around Marken village? Bewick swans and widgeon grazing alongside the Ijsselmeer? Steaming hot chocolate at a pavement cafe in Delft as the carillon plays? No queues at the Rijksmuseum? Miss it?

The first to open here in the garden. It has been out for nearly two weeks but opened today in the lovely sunny weather.

G. elw. 'Barnes' - which, I fear, may have virus. Opinions?
