Paeonia officinalis 'Rubra Plena'

Here's another shot of Rubra Plena, a bit top heavy! 😀

Morning Ange 🌺 Looking great

Morning Jason, they're big, blousy blooms - the Tesco delivery man was admiring them last night! 🤣 @hebelover

Morning Ange, 🌺. Wonderful when the Tesco Man is a gardener👍🏻

Beautiful ❤️

Sure is, he commented on my potatoes too! 🥔 Should have given him a guided tour 🤣 @Auricula

Thanks Julie 🌸 😊 @juliesgarden

That's the trouble with the big blooms, my white one is the same ❤❤❤

I should split it really @pelly

Thanks Karen 💕😃 @KOutdoors

I keep thinking the same but I'm worried about killing it 🥵

One of ours did have quick trip (doesn’t take long) around our garden taking notes 😂

#peony ❣❣❣

Wow that's stunning 😍

It survived 👏 ❤❤

Fabulous ❤

It did, thank goodness! 😊 @pelly

Thank you all, I always look forward to it flowering 😀❣ @topiarytragedy @KOutdoors @hebelover

It’s beautiful worth the agony of the wait♥️

One of my most favourite plants Ange -just Gorgeous 👏❤️ I’ve got lots of buds again this year - now waiting patiently❤️ @anges

Thanks all ❤😀 @Auricula @sho47 @gjones

#peony

As soon as the #peony starts to flower, we get rain, wind, thunder and lightning ⛈ Typical!

Oh no 😢

Oh yes! 🤬😄 @pelly

Hope it’s not prolonged♥️

#peony

So exciting ❤❤❤

Yes, I think that's an ant I can see 👀 @pelly

♥️♥️♥️

Beautiful, the way they start to open like that

Yes, exciting! @alan1111

#peony

So pretty and only getting started

Hope it lasts a while @alan1111 😀

Thanks all, it's an established plant - should be brave and split it maybe 🤔😬😆 @Jimfwhitmore @debs69 @italydiva @sharonhayden @pelly @jul071 @ShelleySnyder @philstalder

I keep thinking about splitting my big one but the thought terrifies me 😱😱😱

Me too 😄 @pelly

Hi all, the first few flowers on the #peony are open. Have a fab Friday 😃 #nofilter 🌞🌞🌞

Beautiful Ange 😍Mine are still buds but watch this space 😍 @anges

The sun brought them out over the past few days 🙂 @sho47

Yayy ❤️

Beautiful Ange🤗

Hi Ange 🙋 and vibrant they are too

I'm hoping the sun works on mine very soon. That's gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️

Wow… that’s a real #colourpop ! I wonder if any of my buds will have opened when I go home 🤔

Thanks all, @juliesgarden @godfreye @jpea @pelly @italydiva 😍

Oh that’s lovely still waiting here....😴😴😴

Thanks Elaine, bet yours won't be long 😃 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

They shouldn’t be but they seem to take ever...😣😉

Nice big fat buds for the 🐜🐜🐜 😍

Morning Ange 👋

Hello Jason 👋😃 @hebelover

Wow that’s going to be a fabulous bloom Ange🤗

I seem to be getting more ladybirds on mine than ants 🐞🤔

Morning Ange 👋 Love that lime green against the deep red!

Thank Enid, there's lots of buds this year 😃 @godfreye

I had 2 mating green Shield bugs on mine yesterday 😄 Next week's wildlife Wednesday photo! @pelly

Yes, it goes really well - Mother Nature knows what she's doing 😃 @italydiva

She certainly does!

You got this shot captured perfectly 🏵️

Oh saucy 😂 not spotted any here yet.

Won't be long before the #peony is in bloom ❤💗❤

Going to look great once all those buds open 🤩

Lots of lovely buds there Ange!

Thanks, I hope the weather is kind to it as they don't last long otherwise 🙂 @kez001uk @italydiva

@anges 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Let’s hope this dreadful weather eases soon. It was lovely here this afternoon but I think the rest of the week is a very mixed bag ☔️☀️💨

#pink 😍

That’s a lovely photo

Thanks Debs @debsgarden99 💕

This has flowered well this year - lovely big blooms! 🤩 #pink

It’s a beauty Ange ❤️💗❤️

Oh my Ange, so beautiful. Wish I could grow these in my area but It doesn’t get cold enough here. Love seeing them posted, thanks . Is it fragrant? @anges

Mine have been huge too Ang ❤️❤️

Morning Jane, thanks, fingers crossed it's not getting too blown about in the stupid wind! 🤬😆 @pelly

@philstalder Hi Phil, thank you so much 🙂 We've had this a few years now and it's just got bigger and bigger 😆 I should maybe split it but don't know if I'm brave enough 😄 it doesn't have a scent unlike some other peonies.

That's great Julie - maybe all the rain in winter and the lovely warm spring has helped 🙂 @juliesgarden

Made up with the size of the blooms on this Peony 💚 22.5.19

Beautiful 💗

Gorgeous colour. Perfect 😍💕

So beautiful 💕💞💕

Thanks everyone, luckily the weather has been kind to them so far ☺ @Jasonsparkes1 @matewe @sho47 @kez001uk

Thanks Katie, it's enjoying the sunshine ☺ @gjones

Adding a few photos to the plant profile 💚

Gorgeous garden 😀🤩

Lovely combination

Love your garden

Look at them whoppers......😘

Thanks Debra 💚 @debrascott

Thank you Terri 💚 @telswirld

Thanks Deborah, just luck 😀 @DeborahBanks

Thanks very much Alan ☺ @alan1111

Thanks Elaine, think they're the best they've ever been 💚 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thank you for sharing Ange 😃

Pleased to have ID this one this week ☺

A beautiful red peony, that's what it is! 😁❤

Thanks Jeff! Obvious really 😁❤ @jeatacake

❤❤

The color is spectacular!

Ahh, glad you found it’s name ❤️❤️

Thank you 😊 @bandicoot

@cpl721 Thanks Donna, it's such a vibrant colour isn't it? 😍

@pelly I did a bit of research online and on GT and I'm sure I'm right 😊

Yes, and I think it’s my favorite peony color now😍

The peony has a few flowers on it now ☺ Could it be #sarahberndhart ? 18.5.19 Might go with 'Rubra Plena' ❤💜❤

Beautiful, but isn’t Sarah a pink one? 🌸🤔

Thanks Jane. To be honest I only know the Peony names Sarah Berndhart & Bowl of Beauty!! 😁 It was wishful thinking - I planted this a long time ago when I wasn't into gardening the same 😁 #plantid 💚 @pelly

You’re welcome, could it be Karl Rosenfield? 🤔🤔

Beautiful by any name 😉

Thanks Jane but Karl looks a bit frillier to me, just had a google ☺ @pelly

Morning Val, thanks very much ☺ @valjones-hughes 💖

Mine has only just started to produce buds but it is a very very late flowering one, no idea of its name either

Hopefully someone will be able to id it for you 👍😊

No worries, thanks both of you ☺ @jpea @pelly 💖

Gorgeous combination ❤️

Oh thanks Dan ☺ it just kind of happened 😁💚💖💚 @dan5584

18.5.19 💖

💖 18.5.19

Stunning 😍 just jam-packed with petals 💗

Thanks Kerry ☺ @kez001uk

Yes, it reminds me of roses 😍 @gjones

Almost there - maybe by tonight 💖❤💖 15.5.19 ⏰😁

♥️😍👌

Thanks Ali ☺ @damavand

12.5.19

Yes! It's a countdown 😀 @gjones

My favourites along with roses 😊

I love the Peony flowers, wish they lasted longer. Love roses 🌹🌸🌹🌸😊 @harebell

Alas that is the only problem with them 😌

I want a nice peony as I dont have one

Time to treat yourself 😁 @juicylucy

12.5.19 ☺

Oh that color! It looks like satin! Gorgeous!😍

Oooh loving this colour!

Hi Donna, it does look like satin - can't wait for them to open ☺ @cpl721

Morning Denise ☺ me too, wish I knew its name @Denise16

What a Fantastic colour Ange @anges 😍😘

Beautiful photo 😍

Would love to see them open!

Hi Suzie, thanks - it's such a deep cerise, love it ☺ @jadojado29

Hi Kerry, thank you very much ☺ @kez001uk

Me too Donna 😀 just going to check where it's up to ... ☺ @cpl721

Gorgeous 😍

Beautiful 😍

Thanks everyone, looking forward to this one flowering 💖 @AlisaJ @gjones @jyotu ☺

This peony has put on a growth spurt this year and has lots of buds ready to bloom 💖💖💖

It’s huge! Going to be even more beautiful when it’s smothered with flowers ❤️

It is big Kerry, love the flowers which are a cerise pink but they don't last that long. Just reminded myself I need to put supports round it! 😉 @kez001uk

@anges I didn’t realise the flowers were short-lived ☹️ but the foliage is pretty anyway thankfully 😛
