This is my earliest blooming peony. I rescued the tuber from a neighbor's yard prior to them laying sod over their flower garden several years ago. It's quite large as you can see from the next photo and has only ever produced 2 blooms for me. It's quite stunning so if anyone is a peony nut out there and knows the name of this beauty, I'd love to hear it!
measuring about 6" across
Gosh--I've never seen one like that...it's gorgeous and large!!
ReplyDeleteSorry I can't help with the name but it is absolutely beautiful. Peonies are my favourite and a friend just brought me a big bunch. They are just slowly beginning to open today.
ReplyDeleteDawn, It IS large! And still a mystery I guess...
ReplyDeleteLois, when some of my other peonies begin to bloom I'll be enjoying them in the house as well. Until this plant starts producing more than 2 flowers a season I'll feel too guilty cutting them!
i grew up in illinois and we had peonies...i've never seen anything like this one though. wow!!!
ReplyDeleteI hear there are a lot of Industrial Blooms in Texas though, Paula...
ReplyDeleteWow, you could eat off of that flower!
ReplyDeleteha ha, absolutely!
