Peonies

unknown variety, see below!

 

The Queen of the spring garden is not only beautiful, but also very long-lived and easy to grow. The foliage has very few diseases and looks fresh all summer long. And many varieties have a wonderful fragrance.

Any drawbacks? Some of the heavy-flowered cultivars might need staking, especially if rain weighs down the blossoms. Single and anemone-flowered varieties are less prone to flop over than double varieties.   

Duchesse de Nemour, a double-flowered, very fragrant variety

Festiva Maxima, very tall and intensely fragrant

       

Krinkled White is single-flowered with large blossoms

Rimpoh, a tree peony

       

Scarlet O'Hara is a single flowered red variety

Flamed Heart, another single red

       

Gay Paree, a beautiful magenta-pink anenome-flowered variety 

This beautiful variety grows in my home garden, and I have not been able to find out what it is. Could it be 'Lorna Doone"?
