Sharing a photo from my neighbor’s garden. LaJenna was asking for the identity of a flower and I was determined to find out the answer. I have a sweet elderly neighbor with a beautiful garden. I walked over to visit and see if she could help.
And there it was. The same flower LaJenna posted about HERE… LaJenna’s post.
This flower, according to my neighbor is a Garden Peony. And I plan to get them in my garden. They are gorgeous. The blooms are just beautiful. They come in different colors. But this white with a touch of purple is my favorite.

Lovely as ever. You have done a wonderful job here…
La Peony is beautiful. Please remember to share the image with us once you have this in your garden.
Peonies are awesome, one of my favorite flowers!
Yes I agree with you, have not had them in my garden but hopefully I will soon.
I love flower colors because some of them have no smell because their colors make me happy
Thank you my friend for searching out my flower’s identity. You are the best!
You are welcome, it was so cool how my neighbor had this flower blooming! I love it.
The look ethereal and dreamlike. Would love to have some of those in my garden.
They do don’t they! Magical flowers. I have to get them in my garden.
Super shot. I had them in red. They’re beautiful.
Thanks, I would love to have both red and white in the garden.
I’ve heard of the name peony in many shows I’ve seen …
I’m sure they’re being shown in them too but I just can’t remember :/
Yes they are ver popular. It was so cool my neighbor had the same flower as LaJenna. Gorgeous.
I’m not sure I’m bad at recognizing flowers … or is it the same … peony … I know red
Yes it comes in red, there are about 30 different types!
It’s a white peony. I have a red.
The legend says that in the kosovo field after the battle of the Turks and Serbs on June 28, 1389, that flower emanated from the red Serbian blood. After that, the Serbs were 500 years old under Turkish influence.
Flower flies and beautiful smells.
It will soon flourish in my garden and set up a picture.
Oh I can imagine the red is just magnificent! Wow, thanks for the history. I had no idea the flower was known world wide. Looking forward to your photos!
Now I’m sure I’ve seen this flower, and it looks like this flower is also often used in traditional medicine.
Yes you are right Albert, i did read about that. What a resourceful flower and look at the beauty.
I was just about to ask if I really did see color on those. Wow, splashes of color. Those are really pretty. Beware if you do decide to grow them that ants are super attracted to them. They are very sweet. Ants do not harm them though, in fact there is an old wives tale that they have to have the ants to bloom which is just that, a tall tale. 🙂
I did not know that about the ants. I just love the huge blooms, so beautiful in my neighbor’s garden. Hummingbirds should love them if they are sweet.
And butterflies!! They are easy to grow.
I have to get these planted soon.
