^going to be a huge bloom when it comes out I think.. looking forward to seeing that one open Bright Star..

I'm also getting large blooms on everything this Spring, much bigger than I've seen before here..
'Buckeye Belle'.. this is gigantic compared to previous..

.. a closer look at 'Benton Storrington'..
Irises are so explicit in their sexual display, ''come and get me'' is the message surely..

This is the same peony (23.05) just taken from the plant. What a change in shape and colour. The roses are the first blooms of Lady of the lake.

I'm deeply envious, neither of my two peonies are out yet, the buds just seem to be sitting there not doing anything. I've just given them a good water to see if that helps.

This is my Coral Charm, my first ever Peony and it's lovely but only one flower head too.
