Got a nice surprise the other day checking out the garden. The surface is a thick layer of leaves put down to protect the soil from heat and during the wet season to prevent erosion. So what became visible first was a small mound of leaves but soon after the top of a flowering paeoniifolius appeared. This one has been here a few years now, it came with a truck load of top soil I'd brought in. It's a wonder the tuber wasn't crushed in all the moving around. I used my tractor to move the soil, level it and also to compact it. But the plant flourished and is now flowering. Being on the edge of the garden I thought it would rot during dormancy from the nearby garden sprinklers. Obviously not.
Just to the left you can see the top of a leaf from one of the smaller tubers coming through.
