Peonies are on the top of my favorite flowers list and my client knew this well. She asked, "Have you ever seen a Tree Peony?"
I had not, so she ushered me out to her garden in a down pour of rain to see the newest additions to her yard. And there the unusual peonies were. One in a glorious fuchsia pink. The other, the most delicate petal pink, like that of a light pink pigment in a watercolor painting. Almost transparent.
The absolute best part....They were each being shaded by the most delicate looking paper umbrellas. I couldn't believe my eyes. It felt like I had been transported to the magnificent gardens of the Forbidden City in China. Just magical.
"Where on earth did you find these?", I asked. "The Internet." (Of course, how silly of me) "Treepeony.com" (Again, of course! Who knew it would be so easy)
So I rushed back to my office to take a look for myself and sure enough, at http://www.treepeony.com/ you can find these gorgeous plants in an array of colors which even includes yellow. Stunning. They range in price, but I found them to be pretty affordable. Most are well under $ 100.00.
I might just have to make room in my garden!
Cheers,

Just beautiful!! I planted peonies last year. They are slow to start but coming along.
ReplyDeleteI checked out the web site. The "coiled dragon in the mist" is outstanding.
Thanks for sharing!

That one is so pretty. I love the Alice Harding one, which is one of the yellow ones. They are all so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I like the Alice Harding too. I may have to make room in my garden!
