    It was very pretty, the ladies at the zoo thought I was bonkers when I asked what it was......I suppose they weren't likely to know unless it had 4 legs and fur image

    That's a paeony for sure, one of the species, not a garden cultivar. Lovely

    Yes it was Nutcutlet, it's very pretty and would be very special if I could get one as it was near the pandas at Edinburgh zoo where I took my sister for her hen night.

    I've looked on that website Fidget, it looks like you can only get seeds and they can take up to two years to germinate.....two years........I'm going to have to get some patience from somewhere!!  Might give it a go though, I think I might like the challenge.

    If you can get fresh seed it usually germinates the following spring but it's still a long time to flowering.

    I bought a young tree peony plant in the Spring of 2010, and it has produced two flowers for the first time this year.    You will need to be patient, but it is well worth the wait!
