Nick, beautiful peony bed!!!
Can't way to see them all in full bloom.
Alex, great to know that there are more peonies lovers in Toronto.
My TP Hoki and Snow Lotus started opening yesterday.
Hoki lost 7 or 8 buds dues to the sudden snow in Toronto. The buds and leaves were stunted, so I had to cut two branches. Two of the Snow Lotus flowers were also damaged, but it is not too obvious.
Interestingly, my TPs have changed the blooming order again. This year, Hoki and Snow Lotus started together. High Noon hasn't started yet. The Guardian is showing some color.
Last year, Snow Lotus started (as expected because it is Rockii peony,) followed by High Noon, and then Hoki and Guardian of the Monastery. Finally, Kinkaku finished the season for me. I remember that Hoki was blooming in the same time as the “Allegro” poppy. This year, Allegro has already formed buds, but it will not bloom soon.
