Ezra Pound

The next flower to bloom in the new garden is a tree Peonies that came from Peony Garden in Ontario. This was a healthy plant and has three blossom for the first year. The flowers are spectacular! This is in my white garden and has a pale pink flower when it first opens.

The flowers are huge and have a wonderful sent. You do not have to get close to the ground to smell this flower. Again a wonderful plant to have in the garden.

Chocolate Soldier

 The first peony to bloom in my new garden was the Chocolate Soldier. Not what I was expecting, but beautiful. It was pink not a red, and very low to the ground. I was amazed with this unusual weather and having peonies so early.   This was blooming before any of my tree peonies.  The flower buds come out with the first leaves.  You need to get close to the ground to smell the flower and the sent is not strong.  A lovely flower to have in any collection or garden.
