This is the lovely "Good Lady" - a hybrid Tree Peony
bred in Melbourne by Dr Bernard Chow, a famous Tree Peony breeder.
This is the flower seen in the very early morning light, as soon
as it had opened.
After one day of exposure to light, the flower was already
showing a considerable colour shift to a lovely soft lilac pink.
It is always amazing the tone shifts which this flower achieves.
And it will change more in the next few days, as you will see. It
has another strong characteristic, and that is the plant is a good
strong grower, with lovely healthy foliage. I love this plant. Not
only is it "different", it is just a truly charming
flower
