    I can tell you're a true fan of nature. Surrounded by the world's most beautiful birds, yet not neglecting other species. Posted 9 years ago

      Why thank you! My father is a botanist, so I do try to pay some attention to plants as well :-) Posted 9 years ago

The Paeonia delavayi

''Paeonia delavayi'' is a low woody shrub belonging to the peonies, that is endemic to China. The vernacular name in China is 滇牡丹 , which means "Yunnan peony". In English it is sometimes called Delavay's tree peony. It mostly has red brown to yellow, nodding flowers from mid May to mid June. The light green, delicate looking leaves consist of many segments, and are alternately arranged on new growth.
