Unlabelled it could be white, magenta or another colour.
Coming away nicely in its pot with Spring growth.

Peonies are beautiful flowers in the garden, roselike in appearance. Ideally they need a sunny sheltered spot as the blooms are large, and a square metre of garden to spread out in. They die down below ground level in winter and come away in the Spring with new growth. They are reasonably drought tolerant with their thick tuberous roots.
The flowers picked while still in bud are popular florist blooms.

I have pictured some peony flowers but I cant tell you whether this peony will be one of these or something different. Its a potluck in more ways than one.
The potted plant in the terracotta colour plastic pot is the Peony on sale.

Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Thanks for looking.

It’s time for the Great Kererū Count 2020. Kererū Discovery is calling on all Kiwis to get out and count kererū.

Kererū only live in Aotearoa New Zealand. Whether you love their classic white singlets, their whooping wingbeats, or their awesome air shows, kererū are as Kiwi as kiwi.

This year the annual Great Kererū Count 2020 runs from 18-27 September.

As well as being real characters of the bush, kererū are also known as the gardeners of the sky –spreading precious seeds of forest giants such as tawa, miro and hinau. Tony Stoddard of Kererū Discovery, who coordinates the count, says kererū can pop anywhere

“At this time of the year kererū will be flocking to trees like willow and tree lucerne. These trees are kererū-magnets as the birds come out of their winter-feeding grounds and prepare for the breeding season by feeding on the nitrogen-rich leaves.”

“In urban areas, kōwhai are another important food source for kererū, and you will often see or hear angry tui defending their trees from hungry kererū.”
