Tree Peony

As a poster who rarely shows pictures  ::)I just could not resist sending this one. The name of the plant is too hard to type.

That's a beauty Eric.  I have a tree peony which comes up every year with a load of leaves but not one flower.  Any ideas?

We have a peony coming up on the wasteground at the bottom of my allotment.  After 10 years of no-one using the site, the last 6 months have bee hard slog digging and weeding (marestail, ground elder, nettles - nearly a full set  :-\ ) and then we noticed this little beauty.  Just coming in to flower now.

Not in the same 'come-dancing' class, Eric - & going over to boot - but had to offer a Cotswold contribution. = Tim

And worth the effort too. They are a lovely plant, sadly the flowers do not last long enough though.

What a beautiful plant Palustris.  I have a tree peony which has a reddish tinge to the leaves.   The flower is a lovely pink.  I have nurtured this plant for 4 years and at last, this spring, it produced two fantastic blooms.  They don't last long but the look stunning.  I heard that it takes 4 years for the seeds to germinate - any idea if that is true?

Can do, but generally the seeds germinate in Spring if sown when fresh and left to get cold over Winter. Hydrid ones of course do not come true from seed, but P ludlowii and P lutea are quite easy and flower within a couple of years.

O
I am now the proud owner of a magnificent cold frame which I have yet to learn how to utilise to best advantage.  I will have a go at sowing seed this autumn and see what happens. By the way, I wanted to post a photo of my tree peony flowers (2) but couldn't begin to understand how to go about it.  I use an applemac computer and all these pc codes are very daunting!

Not sure about how to post photos from an Apple eitehr. Have you tried joining Photobucket.com? If you can get here I should think you could join. If so then the procedure must be very similar.
