Karl Rosenfield Peony
Yes I know this is a spring flower, but even though it’s not Spring her in North America we do have some members of Green Thumb Sunday from areas that are having Spring. So let’s say this one is for the Aussies and I believe there is at least on New Zealander on the list too.Besides who doesn’t love a beautiful peony?
Most peonies have very attractive flowers and many are scented. This one however has no scent, not to my sensitive nose anyway. Another thing that I enjoy about peonies is that they often have lovely foliage, so throughout the growing season they continue to be attractive plants in the garden even though they may only bloom for a few weeks each year.
Of the four different peonies that I grow I think that this Karl Rosenfield Peony has the most gorgeous foliage. Just look at how lush and green it is. This a very attractive plant from it’s large feathery petaled blooms to it’s forest green leaves. I love it.
Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.
I hope you like this peony, I adore it. Don’t forget to visit Tricia’s Musings too!
I love that dark pink color! My neighbor has peonies and every time they bloom I sneak into her yard for pictures :))
I know nothing of peonies… Wonder if it’s just too hot here..?
I love peonies. The are the awesomist! They remind me of my grandma because she always had the most beautiful bushes outside her front door.
Beautiful coloured peony. When they look like this it’s hard not to take photographs.. isn’t it?
Happy Sunday

I love peonies – no I adore them! Wonderful flowers – a real classic one 🙂
It was a extremely popular garden plant a long time ago in Sweden (still is) and this one of yours is similar in the color to a common one here, P. x festiva (Bondpion in Swedish).
I guess it’s popular here not only because of it’s beauty, but also that it’s surviving our winters!
Peonies are so lovely, but I’ve never grown any. Not sure if they will cope with all our dryness around here.
I just love peonies! I need to add one to my garden this spring—thanks for reminding me 🙂
