Up close with Kinkaku

Peony Kinkaku aka Souvenir de Maxime Cornu.

Great to see this unusual, but gorgeous heirloom tree peony get a banner spotlight

Beautiful banner Valerie!

I'd love to see the full image if possible, I love peonies. Beautiful banner, Valerie!

That's a beauty!

Me, too!
Pretty please, post the whole image.
And if possible, the tree in bloom....must be spectacular!
Would love to be able to grow peonies of any size, but just
too warm here.

Just back from vacation - thanks all - here's some other pics of Kinkaku which usually blooms from the first week of June here;







While it is a typical downfacing bloom, the bush gets mountains of snow from the roof yet is almost always the first tree peony to leaf out

Val, that is just about beautiful!
