Still not quite right.

Green on White Jade Tower, our second tree peony, started its bloom today. Actually, it was the first one we bought! The flowers are supposed to be crown-shaped, but because it's still an immature plant it's not blooming quite right. That's not uncommon with tree peonies, believe it or not!

The first year it bloomed, it did have the proper crown-shaped flowers. I wonder if it had still had some flower buds from the main shrub?

It's like all of a sudden, it turned into Phoenix White!

I wish it would bloom true to form for once! It's pretty like that, though. Sometimes I wonder if maybe Golden Port gave us the wrong peony, but then I remember that it did have crown-shaped flowers the first year...
