May 06, 2015. Some garden plants flower for months. That's wonderful, because their color is welcome the entire season. But you do start to take them for granted after a while. Not so with the plants whose flowers are so fleeting, you might miss them if you blink. I've found that to be the case with Japanese peony: they go from buds first opening to petal drop in a matter of a day or two, at least in my experience. My one plant, purchased a good number of years ago at the HPS/MAG members plant sale, had started to bloom two years ago, but all I caught until this year was the bulging bud stage and the aftermath. So I was excited to finally see the flowers this year. I never knew they had such a striking bunch of yellow stamens! |
