Right, let's try with my Peony Dai JIn which has white, red, pink and occasionally red and white striped flowers on it. Reduced kb's.

Amazing what a few hours of sunshine will do to peony buds. Here they are four hours later.

One Spring sweetheart i love to get close to every May is my tree peony, Dai Jin, It is supposed to have red and white striped flowers - well, I had one once but mostly they are all red, all white or sall pink but ten three different flowers on one bush is pretty clever, But what gets you running to, even in bud is the amazing perfume, Heavenly. Here it is this morning.

Go back to some former pages on this thread - they have sorted the pictures on the earlier pages and may be working their way through. Lovely enlargement of the purple pasqueflower.

My Golden Jubilee year will start with loads of golden daffodils, of course, being a poet. Then lots of golden tulips, followed by early and late summer perennials like my trollius, marsh marigolds, my new Achillea "Moonshine", golden shrubs like a golden leaved spirea and coronilla with golden flowers. There will be lots of blue and purple to set off the gold too. i keep adding to my plans and saving for bulbs and plants. I love that rhododendron too and my picture blew up . Have they sorted it then?

I bought a Trollius "Golden Queen" for my Golden Jubilee garden next year when i visited Hanbury Hall recently and it opened its first bud on the first day of Chelsea,
