I've heard about High Noon reblooming for some. It makes sense that it would happen under those conditions. Very interesting.

Here's my Shimadaijin tree peony shortly after some flash snow/sleet/hail today:

I have a quick question for my fellow zone 3'ers - Do your tree peonies die back to the ground every year? I decided to try out a tree peony two years ago, and for two years straight the woody growth doesn't seem to tolerate the cold here and the peony starts from the ground each year. One of my co-workers has had the same thing happen for several years and I'm wondering if anyone else has any experience with them this far north. I think I've actually lost a two year old TP this year as well, which is a crying shame.
