A thing of beauty is a joy forever....

This is one of the 15 or so flowers on my tree peony - paeonia rockii.  Each flower is about as big as a latte bowl and the scent is heavenly.  When we move to our new house, I will be taking this plant with me - it is about 120cm tall (not really a tree I know) and I have had it for about 12 years.  Despite all my grumblings about the wet Spring, this is most definitely the best flowering yet.  I just wanted to share it with you!

    Absolutely gorgeous! I don't think I have ever seen a peony as bright as that, they are usually a pale pink no? I can see why you want to take it with you too.

    I was so confused until I remembered you're in New Zealand because peonies haven't been in season for months! But of course yours in just starting. Lucky! Your flowers are gorgeous! Peonies are some of my favorites...

    It seems to be saying "I'm alive, and I feel brilliant". Has the power to make you feel the same!
