The herbaceous peonies are soaking up the warm spring sun, with several pushing out large buds. While a few plants are showing signs of blooming soon, peak bloom is still a few weeks away.
The tree peonies, always the first to bloom, are on the verge of opening and are likely to start showing their color in the next week.

There was a pretty big jump in growth from last week to this week! Some of the plants have small, tight buds formed.

Despite last week’s snow, the peonies are doing just fine. They’re continuing their slow and steady growth, with sturdy stems now reaching about 4–5 inches tall. We don't expect any buds for a while yet, just a patient march toward bloom season.
