just love them- Spring came late this year, but it is boiling now, 33C at lunchtime- Eastern France much hotter than the SW and Spain, which is a rare occurence.
When we moved here 10 years ago- there were a few 'standard' deep red peonies in the weedy border. Borders have been enlarged and weeded, and the peonies I brought from UK have all settled, has have the new ones I purchased or begged in the meantime. My absolute pride though, are the two tree peonies are brought from our UK garden- one is very large now- deep puce enormous flowers with yellow centre- it has about 30 flowers on at the mo. And another smaller one that only flowered last year for the first time, beautiful soft pink and has 8 flowers this year. A third has white flowers, only 5, but only bought in France 3 years ago. The 4th has never flowered yet- and have forgotten what colour it is- will be a nice surprise when it does. The perennial ones, about 12, all doing well too- some will flower a bit later, which is great.
