Last week, the pink tree peony was the star of the garden. Today, the showstoppers are our other tree peonies and a field of irises and Korean lilacs in full bloom.
The yellow tree peony is always the last to open its flowers. It is an Itoh peony, a cross between a tree peony and a herbaceous peony. Only these have such bright yellow flowers.
We love the Korean lilacs because they not only look lovely in spring and have a wonderful fragrance, but they also reliably re-bloom later in summer. And these flowers are attractive to pollinators, too (here honeybees).
