For those who have taken an interest in my tree peony, which has not flowered before in four years, here are some pictures:

Peonies are my favourite flower Citizen :).  How wonderful to see the first blooms on your tree.
Don't get my personality and my attitude confused.  My personality is me, my attitude depends on you.

They are lovely C68.  We have a peony (not a tree peony) that has flowered beautifully for the last couple of years, it's burgeoning nicely at the moment, fingers crossed!

Your peony is lovelyC68...you see your patience was rewarded.  :D  Monty Don had a very good article on the Tree Peony in The a Yorkshire Post Magazine  this week it was very informative on care etc; I will keep it.


Is yours the shrub variety GrannyMac? My Pa was a devotee and I grew up drowned in deep red enormous blooms he loved them, a lovely memory.

Nature is wonderful, more so if we give a gentle nudge! Enjoy the bounty of her most natural of all the treats.

How gorgeous and beautiful, nice pics.
Don't worry about people who don't like you, just care about the ones that love you.

Well, that has been definitely worth the wait, Citizen, you must be so proud of it and hope it is giving you some comfort at this difficult time, thinking of you both.  :) :-*
