freezengirl said:I can't identify it for you but if it is blooming now it is more then likely (given your location) that it is an asiatic lily. Do you mean it came up before but never bloomed until now? Off the top of my head I would guess it was an immature bulb or offset from another bulb or some kind of environmental damage (ie squirrels, rabbits, frost, insects) but purely guessing since you haven't provided much information to go on. The peonies are known for not blooming if they are planted to deep. You can have one that comes up, beautiful foliage but no blooms. I am far north of you and I try to keep my peonies planted no deeper then an inch. If they get transplanted any time before fall it can set them back a years bloom also. I am sorry you had a fire at your place.it never even grew untill after the house fire ( we now live in the house next door as we are buying it and the old lot). it has not bloomed yet this year but sure has spread like crazy this pic was from last year when it was only one plant.. now there are 4 of them. The peony never bloomed untill the house fire but was growing.. that one is a pink peony.

Grand Cru in the data base:
Lily (Lilium 'Grand Cru')
