Red Tree Peony

This deep red tree peony is my favourite.  I have had this tree peony for so long I do not know the name.  This year with the warm weather, the flowers came out full bloom in one day.  The red with yellow are truly breath taking.  This is not in my new garden, it is in a garden I have had for over 20 years.  No bending down to smell this flower.  The sweet smell fills the area.
Peonies are so easy to take care of!  Plant them and enjoy them.  If any one out there knows the name of this peony please let me know.

Chocolate Soldier

The first peony to bloom in the new garden was not Chocolate Soldier. It comes up with the leaves and the flower buds together.

It is very close to the ground. I was a little disapointed because it was pink, not red. The flower is lovely with not much of a scent. I am happy over all with the plant and would recommend this flower to anyone. It will be interesting to see when it blooms next year. This was an unusual year and it was in full bloom before any of my tree peonies.




This is the first year for this plant and it bloomed with 5 flowers! This plant came from the USA and did very well.



Ezra Pound

The next flower to bloom in the new garden is a tree Peonies that came from Peony Garden in Ontario.  This was a healthy plant and has three blossom for the first year.  The flowers are spectacular!  This is in my white garden and has a pale pink flower when it first opens.  


 The flowers are huge and have a wonderful scent.  You do not have to get close to the ground to smell this flower.  Again a wonderful plant to have in the garden.
