Congratulations, Kousa! It's a gorgeous clear yellow, don't you think? My DH likened the scent to the lemon oil that is used for cleaning. :) I couldn't smell it. Every time I went outside, my nose became stupped up.

Very pretty, Kousa! I got that one this spring but it's tiny--I'll probably be waiting a few years for mine to bloom!

Beautiful boom! congratulations!

Kamata Fuji is the first one to bloom here. One out of 3 are blooming, but I expect the others to bloom too in the next couple days.

Renkaku is coming close behind.

All 3 look like very healthy, beautiful plants with gorgeous blooms! Congrats!

Stevelau, I love your Renaku. If you have this one for sale or trade someday, please let me know. Is Kamata Fuji purple when viewed in person? Is there any red in it? Thanks for sharing your photos of tree peonies.

I would have to wait until the branches harden off a bit before I can move them, and I have 3 renkakus so I could spare 1 of them.

Kamata Fuji appears kind of like a mix between red and purple, but it's fading to purple now.

Here is my 2nd year Tree Peony "Peony05". The smell is not too strong, but similar to some roses. The Itoh next to it with already many buds for its 2nd year is the Morning Lilac.

Here is the same plant

First tree peony to bloom this year unknown but I like the color of it, my orange/ yellow hasn't bloomed yet but if it warms up it will.

Nice color gardenbear. The flower begins to open larger today. I definitely have to water them as their leaves are turning yellow.

Here is another one planted on the opposite side.

Love the tree peonies! How do you grow such healthy plants? I do not know why my tree peonies foliage is showing yellowing leaves when the herbaceous peony next to it is all green?

I just don't fuss with my trees, The get fed once or twice while there grown, they get lots of water because they tend to dry out fast in the full sun. I would love to have a deep red peony tree but so far I haven't found one in my area.

Steve, Kamatafuji is gorgeous.

Shima nishiki, gardenbear. Very handsome tree you have there. (Oops, I rhymed!)

The red tree peony's stunning, peonea.

I think I'm running out of adjectives for all these dazzling, magnificent, resplendent tree peonies lol

Gardenbear I wish you could remember the name of the bicolor it's gorgeous!
