D123-2013 Paeonia ??? Native to Asia Possibly a Japanese tree peony, Paeonia suffruticosa, but I couldn't see a label. The tree in the background is a flowering dogwood. Note also the blooming strawberries at the base of the peony. Peony Garden of Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor May 3, 2012 (nex5n)
Paeonia suffruticosa 'Kissed Peach', a Japanese tree peony. Native to Asia This, along with several other varieties of early-blooming peonies, grows in the beds between the main peony garden and the Laurel Ridge Trail (seen here in the background). I've read that specimens of tree peony can live as long as two hundred years. This one, by comparison, is just a baby. Peony Garden of Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor May 3, 2012 (nex5n)
Paeonia suffruticosa 'Kissed Peach' Native to Asia The species has the common name Japanese tree peony, but examples of it in Nichols Arboretum have not, at least not yet, taken on a tree-like conformation. I neglected to test these for fragrance. Native tree peonies have little or no fragrance, but breeders are developing hybrids of the species specifically to express various fragrances. Designer peonies, you might say. Peony Garden of Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor May 3, 2012 (nex5n)
D123-2013 Paeonia suffruticosa 'Kissed Peach' Native to Asia The tiny black bugs in the center of the blossom seem more like beetles than flies to me. They're definitely not spiders, bees, or wasps. Peony Garden of Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor May 3, 2012 (nex5n)
Giant spreading yellowwood just starting to leaf out. Cladrastis kentukea Family Fabaceae Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor, Michigan May 3, 2012 (nex5n)

D114-2012 American Bladdernut (Staphylea trifolia) Family Staphyleaceae Native to eastern North America This specimen, growing next to the trail along the eastern side of the Main Valley, is tall and leggy, not what you'd want for landscape interest in your own yard. Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor April 24, 2012 (nex5n))
