Fortunately for my non-gardening Facebook friends, since I have been garden blogging this past year, they no longer have to endure endless gratuitous Peony shots. But it's that time of Spring, when my species, Chinese and Japanese tree peonies are just beginning to bloom. So there will be lots of pictures. Below are the handful of early ones that are currently doing their thing.

The herbaceous peonies are still a few weeks out - that will be a later installment. I'm getting giddy with anticipation for my upcoming splurge at Adleman Peony Gardens.

That Paeonia suffruticosa is awesome...even the foliage...how long does that foliage color last?
