Is that a flower bud I spy right in the middle?

Oh great spot @Hellebore I’ll check properly! Exciting..

It does like one 👍 @Hellebore

Looking good 😊😊♥️♥️

How amazing are #tree-peonies as they start to reveal themselves?! From dead stick to intricate leaf structure!

Fabulous!

Thank you @awomanonabike the sunshine caught it just right 😊

Amazing!💘😍

Yeah!! Flowers on the tree peony. Have a right royal day everyone 😊 #mayflowers

Thanks

You too 💛💛

Whilst checking for frost damage I spotted this about to pop - after 3 years of nothingand pretending to be a deadstick all winter looks like I'm going to get my first bloom!! #peony my most pampered plant!

Great feeling, thought I had lost mine as it did not flower last year, but this year I have two blooms@carolcuttingitfine.

Ahh must be the year for them @greengrub - hope yours stays safe from the frost! This is my first bloom ever as my friend grew it from seed about 5 years ago!

What a wonderful surprise Carole @carolecuttingitfine looks like it's going to be a lovely sunshine yellow let's hope it's a sign of things to come 💛. Hope you have a lovely day 😘

Yaaay, great Carole , I feel your excitement 💛💛

Thank you @jadojado29 love a quick wander in the garden to start the day! If I survive my grandsons gym class - grandma participation compulsory - it'll be an amazing day!? Have a fabby day yourself 😊

Thank you @juliesgarden yes it has been said that I'm an easy book to read 😂😂😂😂

😂 Good luck with the exercise Carole @carolecuttingitfine i feel your pain already 😉😘

Fantastic Carole. Will be worth all the pampering I'm sure 🤗

Looks like it's going to be fantastic !!

Woohoo!!

The rewards of gardening! Going to be lovely!

This tree peony has been given so much attention and rewarded me by pretending to be a dead stick after I left it out over winter! But after 3 years of waiting #buds actual buds!!! Treat 'em mean make 'em keen to flower 🌺

😂😂😂love it. All good things come to those whom wait eh? 👍🏻 @carolecuttingitfine

@jacq1075 mmh patience not normally my forte but was determined not to be beaten 😏

See patience is a virtue 👍👍

And it paid off Carole 👌👌👌

You're a very patient lady. You've got blooms coming now!

Woohoo! 👍🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

This #treepeony has been doing an impersonation of a dead stick for months! #newgrowth phew!

Crazy aren't they, I got a "dead stick" last year from a friend. It's just starting to leaf up, hoping to find out what colour it is this year. Enjoy!

😂😂 ah the relief! 👍🏼

I've had it 3 years and still don't know what colour the flowers are! @LynnS and yes @rachelbrooks I took a gamble and left it out over winter and thought I'd lost it! That peony has had far too much attention for no reward! It's so precocious! 😏

Oh this must be the year then Carole! 😬👍🏼🌸🌸🌸

Mmmmh @rachelbrooks not holding my breath! 😉

Ya never know! 👍🏼👍🏼

I think I have your dead stick's twin 🙄 @carolecuttingitfine

Keep the faith @katesmck 😉🙏

Thanks for the warning @carolecuttingitfine . I guess it's a plant where patience is a virtue 😉

I didn't think this was going to survive the winter but it did!
