My siblings have had an autumn tradition of wandering through the Washington Park Arboretum to enjoy the fall foliage and late bloomers. Occasionally, and through no fault of our own, seeds from some of the plants there follow us home. Tree peonies are a favorite. These plants are about ten years old from seed. They are growing strong now, but have never bloomed\u2026.until this year! The strongest growing one has four flower buds on it. I\u2019m anxious to see what the flowers look like,, since I am unsure of the provenance of the seeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are photos of the flower buds and the plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
