Paeonia lactiflora 'Sarah Bernhardt'

Good evening all! What a lovely day it's been, and I even got out into the garden this afternoon! Was cutting back some large grasses that had got out of hand and they've shredded my hands and arms to bits! However, I did find that my #peony 'Sarah Bernhardt' was beginning to shoot away! Haven't had any flowers yet, but this is her third year so I've got my fingers crossed! 😀

Crikey! She’s up early! Mine doesn’t even think about waking up for another month yet! Reckon you’ll get a bloom this year!

@rachelbrooks - Oh I hope so Rachel! I've got three different ones and this one is way ahead of the others! 😀

Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼

Oh I hope she flowers for you, she's a beauty. I put this one in last year so I'm not holding my breath for this year 👍👍

@pelly - Thanks Jane! Good luck with yours too! 😀

Ouch grass cuts are sore

@kathy - They certainly are Kathy! I think they're worse this morning than they were yesterday! 😔

Woohoo! Good morning GTers! Very excited to see signs of life from my #peony 'Sarah Bernhardt' as it's the first time I've tried growing them! Just one of the images in my weekly photo #blog which you can find at the following link if you're interested - www.bigemrg.co.uk/blog/latest Have a fantastic day everyone! 😀

Morning Ian 😉 colourful growth bursting forth 👍

@debs69 - Good morning Debra! I'm so chuffed! Wouldn't think you could get so excited about it! 😀

Very exciting!

@happycanuck - Isn't it? I'm now eagerly awaiting the arrival of two other varieties I planted as bare root plants at the same time! 😀

Keep us posted. I planted a peony last year. No signs yet ! Fingers crossed though 😁

@latebloomer - I certainly hope so Deborah! 😀

@happycanuck - I definitely will! I was a bit worried about the planting depth but I seem to have at least got this one right! Good luck with yours! 😀

I was ferreting around looking for one of my tree peonies which I moved last year last weekend and was also delighted to see signs of life 🎉Have a good day Ian

I have sarah bernhardt too, she is a blousy tart! Love her!

Good morning Ian @bigemrg ......how exciting. Really pleased for you.......enjoy your day :)

Ohh, yours is further on than mine. Good morning Ian. 😊😊
