Canadian Peony Society: OVBG''',

The purpose of this blog is to give our members a place to share, inspire, inform and entice other members in all things peony. To continue our mandate to promote cultivation and enjoyment of peonies in Canada. To give you all the information we can find under one roof. Share your experiences here!! Tried a new gadget for propagating, growing from seed. Please visit often and even more important send information to keep members from across the country informed on what goes on in your neck of the woods.

pe·o·ny (pēˈənē) (pronounced pee-uh-nee) any plant of the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae, mostly Eurasian species popular as garden and florists' flowers. Herbaceous peonies (most varieties of P. lactiflora)—formerly and still sometimes called piney—are hardy, bushy perennials that die back each year. Large, usually spring-blooming, single, semi-double or double flowers commonly range in shades from red to white. Tree peonies (P. suffruticosa) have a somewhat woody, persistent base and are usually taller than the herbaceous, with more abundant and larger blossoms. Both herbaceous and tree are very long-lived. Both kinds of peony have long been venerated in their native China and Japan. The peony was formerly regarded as both ornamental and medicinal—the roots were used to prevent convulsions. P. brownii is a species of small peony, not horticulturally important, that is native to the West Coast of North America.
