... my peony will flower :). 6 blooms this year! I've never had more than 1; it's still a young plant.

Have a guess: what colour will the flowers be?

Congratulations dandelion...sextruplets... or whatever six is. Well they are looking yellow to me but I'll bet this is a trick that they do or something,so I'll guess...salmon pink? Lol !

They are yellow. It's a species: P. (try to pronounce this ;D!) Mlokosewitschii. I bought the plant 3 years ago from Beth Chatto's garden.

drooling with anticipation ;D

In that case, Greenwizard,  I'll provide you with some tulips to drool over in the meantime ;D. Picture taken 5 minutes ago!

thankyou ;D

UPDATE:
Peony flowers still haven't opened. Perhaps tomorrow...

Two of mine look as though they're going to bloom, and two more have unconvincing little buds which will probably go nowhere. I've only had the one, a typical red officinalis, flower before. And wonder of wonders, my Arum creticum, which I dug about and upset last winter when I was clearing ground elder out of its bed, has a flower coming. It's nothing like the plant it ought to be, but it's the first bud in seven years.

Still waiting...
