Is that a flower bud I spy right in the middle?

Oh great spot @Hellebore I’ll check properly! Exciting..

It does like one 👍 @Hellebore

Looking good 😊😊♥️♥️

How amazing are #tree-peonies as they start to reveal themselves?! From dead stick to intricate leaf structure!

Fabulous!

Thank you @awomanonabike the sunshine caught it just right 😊

Amazing!💘😍

Yeah!! Flowers on the tree peony. Have a right royal day everyone 😊 #mayflowers

Thanks

You too 💛💛

Whilst checking for frost damage I spotted this about to pop - after 3 years of nothingand pretending to be a deadstick all winter looks like I'm going to get my first bloom!! #peony my most pampered plant!

Great feeling, thought I had lost mine as it did not flower last year, but this year I have two blooms@carolcuttingitfine.

Ahh must be the year for them @greengrub - hope yours stays safe from the frost! This is my first bloom ever as my friend grew it from seed about 5 years ago!

What a wonderful surprise Carole @carolecuttingitfine looks like it's going to be a lovely sunshine yellow let's hope it's a sign of things to come 💛. Hope you have a lovely day 😘

Yaaay, great Carole , I feel your excitement 💛💛

Thank you @jadojado29 love a quick wander in the garden to start the day! If I survive my grandsons gym class - grandma participation compulsory - it'll be an amazing day!? Have a fabby day yourself 😊

Thank you @juliesgarden yes it has been said that I'm an easy book to read 😂😂😂😂

😂 Good luck with the exercise Carole @carolecuttingitfine i feel your pain already 😉😘

Fantastic Carole. Will be worth all the pampering I'm sure 🤗

Looks like it's going to be fantastic !!

Woohoo!!

This tree peony has been given so much attention and rewarded me by pretending to be a dead stick after I left it out over winter! But after 3 years of waiting #buds actual buds!!! Treat 'em mean make 'em keen to flower 🌺

😂😂😂love it. All good things come to those whom wait eh? 👍🏻 @carolecuttingitfine

@jacq1075 mmh patience not normally my forte but was determined not to be beaten 😏

See patience is a virtue 👍👍

And it paid off Carole 👌👌👌

Woohoo! 👍🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

This #treepeony has been doing an impersonation of a dead stick for months! #newgrowth phew!

Crazy aren't they, I got a "dead stick" last year from a friend. It's just starting to leaf up, hoping to find out what colour it is this year. Enjoy!

😂😂 ah the relief! 👍🏼

I've had it 3 years and still don't know what colour the flowers are! @LynnS and yes @rachelbrooks I took a gamble and left it out over winter and thought I'd lost it! That peony has had far too much attention for no reward! It's so precocious! 😏

Oh this must be the year then Carole! 😬👍🏼🌸🌸🌸

Mmmmh @rachelbrooks not holding my breath! 😉

Ya never know! 👍🏼👍🏼

I think I have your dead stick's twin 🙄 @carolecuttingitfine

Keep the faith @katesmck 😉🙏

Thanks for the warning @carolecuttingitfine . I guess it's a plant where patience is a virtue 😉

I didn't think this was going to survive the winter but it did!
