My peonies are full of buds, but none have opened yet.

! I didn't even realize that there was such a thing as a tree peony. That thing's magificent.

It's really exciting to see this first bud! I'm glad my parents bought us a 5-year-old plant, or we'd have been waiting a lot longer.

I wish I could claim credit for it, but that's the name the plant came with.

My neighbor let me take her two when she moved out of state. They were already a couple of years old at the time.
