Paeonia or Peony are herbaceous perennial plants that have colourful fragrant early summer flowers.

Are they planted too deeply? That would cause non-flowering.

Lovely photo! I had a tree peony at a previous house and loved it. Think I'll have to save up for another one after seeing this!

I have to agree with you Andrew - I fell in love with this plant at Dundee Botanics before it was in flower - just the foliage and the buds - just thought it was so beautiful - I had to lie on the grass and soak in its beauty (no doubt passers by thought I was mad) - and I knew that I had to have one, which I got from Binny Plants in February 2007 - just a small amount of foliage last year, a larger amount of lovely foliage has opened out this year and I am just so looking forward to the year that it chooses to flower. I have yet to see P. Tenuifolium in flower - keep arriving at the wrong time at Dundee Botanics. Not sure I would like the double form - always thinking about what is friendly to bees, but looking forward to seeing your pictures. Hope the open day goes well.

Peony don't like to be moved , and take awhile to become established, but the resulting blooms are rewarding. The challenge is in supporting them during heavy rains as the blooms do become heavy and tend to bend,

No sorry...it has been passed down through the generations. Seems to like its spot in my garden though.

This is also a heritage plant of my grandfather's that moved with each generation until it ended up in my garden . My mom is in her late 80's so this too must be of that era. It is special indeed.

My mother in law has one of these in her small courtyard garden which will be 72 years old this year. It was given to Father in law (sadly no longer with us) the year he was born and has moved from house to house with him. A thing of beauty that just keeps going
