Peony Tree Shimane Island Collection The Shimane Island Tree Peony Collection, 'Paeonia', contains 3 plants, 1 each of High Noon, Koukamon, & Shima-nishiki. There was a time, many years ago in ancient China, when the only person who could own a tree peony was the Emperor himself. We're not sure what the penalty was for infringing this law, but it can't have been very pleasant. They flower from late April to early May but the flowering season does vary from year to year. The Chinese refer to the tree peony as 'Moutan'. This has been variously translated but probably means 'The Emperor Flower'.
