Please post your 2020 Itoh/Intersectional peony flowers blossoms here. I am unable to merge the other thread, so feel free to repost your ITOHs here if you have posted them this year elsewhere.

Here is Sonoma Apricot that I bought from Adelmans 50% off sale. It has two more buds on the plant.

Wow, that is so gorgeous, LG! I love the color on your flower. I hope mine will produce blooms with that beautiful apricot color. Mine will be in its third spring this year. Hopefully, it looks better this year than last year. It was disappointing last year with only a few blooms and they were very small and ill formed

LG, your Sonoma Apricot is gorgeous! I bought it at the same sale and last year it looks pretty ugly (probably even worse than Karen's). I hope mine will develop into something similar to yours.

Stunning apricot color. Does the color hold up over days or fade out?

It has been such a warm day, it went on to fully open!








Karen and Anya, I hope yours go on to have nice blooms this year. 🤞🏻

Not here in CO but my contractor sent this pic of a bloom in AL. She didn't go into the bed or take a pic of the tag so I'm not sure what it is, sorry.

Beautiful LG and Liz!

Beautiful LG! Today after the rain stopped I counted I actually have 18 Yumi Itoh buds. This is up from 14 buds I counted the other day.

This year, a lot of my itohs are quite leggy and uneven in growing. Never seen this before. They have always been nice and rounded with many blooms. This year leggy, uneven, and buds but not like before. Anyone noticing this type of growth this year?

Thanks SoCal! You are going to have a great show on Yumi!!

Gary, some of my Itohs are uneven Too.
It looks like the early growth started, and then stopped and when it really got warm, some new growth started growing and is higher than the stunted growth!!
Some are looking perfect, but there isn't a bud on them at all!!

Tracey here is Sonoma Apricot after last night's storm. I think the color is holding.

I've seen that uneven growth the last couple of years in the beds that come up earliest. I wondered if it was from the crazy temp fluctuations. I had several established Itohs that had no buds last year, didn't know if it was because of the weather or the devastating hail from the spring before.

That apricot color is holding up nicely. Thanks for sharing, LG.

Beautiful blooms LG, and Liz! I love the rich colors of the blooms!

Liz, I'll bet your contractor is going to get quite the peony blooming show this spring!

Here's my new potted Keiko, that I bought several weeks ago. It came with the buds.


First Arrival, the root from Brooks was planted last fall.

That's how I bought 'Keiko' , Annette. It was from Monrovia through a local greenhouse. Enjoy!

Liz, pretty great that your contractors send you peony pictures! You'll have two seasons.

Your Keiko looks beautiful, Annette. How is your Duchess de Lorraine doing? Mine is small and doesn't have buds.

First Arrival is so pretty!!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Tracey and LG!

LG, DdeL has 2 buds, which I'm thankful for! I hope that your plants will put out some blooms

First Arrival opened today!


Duchesse de Lorraine

I got a Monrovia Keiko last year too, it looks like it's going to be huge this year, it had a ton of flowers last year even when I bought at the tail end of the season.

Beautiful Annette and Sullio! I think First Arrival is a top rate itoh like Bartzella. Its blooms are very consistent in color and form like Bartzella. Both are my favorites.

Thanks Karen!

I've wanted first arrival for years, and I love the color! I want to plant some of these foxgloves behind it! What do you think?
