My species peonies are already getting started.
I've been waiting patiently for Cem to start the 2015 Peony thread.
But my species peonies are already chomping at the bit.

Here is 'molly the witch', otherwise known as paeonia mlokosewitschii.
Very early clear yellow blooms in light shade.

I have grown paeonia japonica for years, one of my favorite blooms with delicate pure white blooms.
I have a new p. japonica which has vibrant purple markings inside - really striking.
I haven't seen this purple flare on my other japonicums. I think it looks fabulous!

I have several other species peonies with fat buds - flowers soon...
I love spring!
