The tree peony is blooming...always one of the most brilliant.
When I planted it, the small plant came up for 5 years...no blooms. Then one year, it had made its adjustments and has been blooming ever since.
It's quite a stunner, but not for anyone impatient.
The flowers are like something out of a tropical rainforest, at least 7-8 inches wide.

For the December Advent Flower Calendar, here is a favorite lutea hybrid tree peony, "Hephestos", introduced by Nassos Daphnis in 1977. We moved this plant in 2017, and it loves the new garden location.

#OTD Peter Smithers, #British #Politician, #Photographer, & #Gardener, is born.
During #WWII, his work as a #Spy inspired the fictional character of #JamesBond.
Peter's favorite #Flowers included the #Rhododendron, #Magnolia, #TreePeony, #Lily, and #Wisteria.
He created a #Garden that didn't require a ton of work.
He once said,
"I regard #Gardening and #Planting as the other half of life, a counterpoint to the rough and tumble of #Politics."
