I am astounded they will flower right now? The bush is full of flowers like these. How on earth did he do it so early? which is it? camellia or peony?

Seems more likely to be camellia from the blooming time.

I thought peonies bloomed late spring and camellias very early spring.

The leaves and flowers of your plant, Carol Speake -The Gardening Cook, look like the camellia plant. I don't have any Peonies, but, their leaves are supposed to be deeply lobed according to Wikipedia. Take a look on Google at both plants and see.

We had peonies for years in Indiana and Baker's Fruit & Flower Farm used to raise all kinds of peonies and ship them all over. This is not a peony.

Camilla! I have a red one blooming right now, they can be pruned at the bottom to grow into a very tall tree like shrub! Keep the ground under it very clean, and feed it with a food for acid loving plants.

It is most definitely a camellia.

recognized it immediately as a camellia. Looks like the one Mom had in front of her house. Had it for years...loved it!

Too woody for a peonie.

no way is it a peony, not enough petals, the flower head is to small, the leaves look waxy and don't have the right shape, def a camellia, @hsga your right the stem is to woody.
