My Yellow Peony

By

April 30, 2021, we ventured out shopping for shrubs and flowers. I saw this yellow peony, I thought it was the one of the prettiest peonies that I’d ever seen. I’d wanted a yellow peony for at least 4 decades. I’ve spoke of it to my husband oodles of times over the years. Unfortunately, it was more expensive than I’m comfortable paying for a flower and it saddened me. I turned to walk away.
My husband watched me admiring the peony and said with a huge smile, “Happy Early Mother’s Day!”
I was over-the-moon with joy.
It’s been a beautiful addition to my small flowerbed ever since.

Bartzella Itoh Peony
It’s a hybrid herbaceous and tree peony cross.
It has a wonderful fragrance.
The blooms are about 8 inches across
It’s deer and rabbit resistant.
It doesn’t need ants, insects or bugs, to feed on it, to bloom.

Wishing you all a beautiful rest of the week!

  1. OH MY GOODNESS!! This peony is stunning! I think it’s gorgeous! I’ve never seen one so lovely. 🌼

    My peonies survived the winter. I’m waiting for the buds to open. This is their third year, but last year they got transplanted. I worried they would be okay. Fingers crossed.

    Happy Mother’s Day, E.C. 🌸

    • Thanks so much Colleen,
      I’m happy your peonies have survived and are on their way to giving a good show. Peonies can be quite a caution when moving them. Yours looks healthy; you’ve done a wonderful job helping them acclimate to their new flower bed.
      Fingers are crossed and sending positive blooming thoughts your way.
      Happy Mother’s Day, Colleen! 💖🌼🌺
