    Stunning Peony Claire. Mine have only foliage on them...but then I only planted them this Spring. Probably in about 3 years I'll get flowers? Correct?

    No, leave them to it.

    The Godaisyu above is a tree (or known as Moutan) peony, I think, if I remember correctly you ( Aaron ) have a herbaceous peony. My herbaceous ones have little flower buds-about 2 cms across, maybe flowering about the end of May. You may get one or two this year, likely next year ( fingers crossed).

    Do you know which one you have Woo?

    That first rock rose, and that lily have what I personally consider to be the most desirable clour combination ever, and I seek that everywhere I go.


    Just stunning flowers-and stunning is a word sometimes overused by myself, this time I mean it-perfect.



    PS Woo, if it turns out you have a a Paeonia Rockii I will eat myself alive with envy-I cannot get my hands on one anywhere-and I won't buy any peony unless I can see what I am buying.
