Here are my top favorites from this past spring.

Madame de Verneille


Maxima Festiva


La Perle


Candy Stripe


Winged Victory

So pretty, Karen. Is La Perle as fragrant as everyone says?

Well I seem to have a lot of white peonies. 😂

Minnie Shaylor is a must-have white.
It very dependable and such a pure white.



Two white Itohs to compare
Love Affair



White Emperor



Saunder's White Innocence



Dawn Glow is very early



Kelway's Glorious



Cream Puff



Bridal Gown



Ivory Victory has become a favorite

I really like your Ivory Victory and Love Affair. Ivory Victory's full double bloom is very beautiful. Love Affair's peachy tint is very attractive too. I agree with you about Minnie Saylor. It is a great a white peony and a must have for every garden.

I love Minnie Shaylor! I could not imagine how pretty it was until I got it for myself and saw it in person!

Festiva Maxima

Ann Cousins

Solfatare

Miss America

Amalia Olson - the first time with red markings

Mother's Choice (with Kansas)

Bowl of Cream

Thanks Karen. That was a first year bloom on Love Affair.

Anya, your whites are gorgeous! I love all of them. I can't really grow the very late varieties here as they don't open.

Which of those is the most fragrant?

Anya, lovely whites! I like your Amalia Olson the best and Bowl of Creme the best. Whites don't look as well in photos as the reds but they do make nice bouquets.

LG, I forgot to smell La Perle so I can't tell whether it is good scent or not. I don't grow Ann Cousins but I have heard that it is a very pleasantly scented peony. Do you find that to be true, Anya? Or did you forget to smell it as well? Now that you asked me this question, LG, I will definitely make a note to appreciate and enjoy my peonies more than just visual next blooming season.

Thank you, Karen and LG! I sniff all flowers and look for the strongest scent! Ann Cousins has it among my white peonies. Festiva Maxima is the second in this respect. Many have slight and pleasant odor. I finish posting whites with single and japanese peonies.
Krinkled White

Bride's Dream (with ePter Brand)

White Sands

White Innocence

Chalice

Nova

Here is a link to my white (and one green) peonies for 2019. Several of these are first time blooming.

Wow Frank! Lovely photos. I couldn't get the info for the green peony to come up.

Do you question your Mrs Fern Lough? It certainly is beautiful.

Beautiful whites, Anya and Frank! Chalice looks has a lovely center! Very charming! I also like your Bride's Dream with Peter Brand! Great match in colors.

Frank, love your Miss America bush! What a wonderful setting for this peony! She seems to brighten up the whole space with her blooms. I am planning to get AB Franklin next year for cut flowers. How old is your plant? Looks like she may need support. Do you have pics of this peony?

Anya, those are so pretty. I hope my Krinkled White blooms this year!!

Karen, I want AB Franklin, too, so let me know if you see it listed.

@kousa

A. B. Franklin does good some years (not many) and not so good the rest of the time:) I have had this peony for 12 years.

good in 2019


good in 2019

Paeonia 'Green Lotus' (Krekler, Roy Klehm, 1995) 2020 photo - Common Name: (3-SL-PK) lactiflora cultivar Peony, Mature size: 28", 4" white to light line green base. An occasional petaloide shows up with the stamens., USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 5c-6, In Garden Bed S3 for 5.3 YEARS (fina). Planted in 2014.

Paeonia 'Green Lotus' (Krekler, Roy Klehm, 1995) is a herbaceous species-cultivar or a cultivar with only one herbaceous species involved (in this case Paeonia lactiflora). Single blooms tending towards semi-double. Looks somewhat like a Cactus Dahlia. At any rate, an unusual mostly white flower with pink tips. A light lime base with some lime green streaking on the pedals. Pistils are white tipped and stamens are bright yellow. In my opinion, an unusual looking flower that quickly turns ugly. In other words, the window of opportunity for a good photo closes quickly. Leaves look good in fall.

Mrs Fern Lough? It's described as light pink fading to white. I am not sure if it opened up light pink or not. This is a new peony planted in the fall of 2018. I will have to keep a eye on it. 'Top Brass' is also questionable. Another new one.

Yes, La Perla is as fragrant as everybody says it is. It's a great peony to have around. highly recommend.

Beautiful photos you guys! Happy 2020. My best to each and every one of you for a happy and healthy new year with a peony season second to none.

Thanks Gary, I only have Green Halo, and it isn't happy where it is.

Mrs Fern Lough is already sold out at Hidden Springs.

Thanks Tracey for the affirmation of La Perla's fragrance. I will put it on my list.

Happy New Year to everyone here. It's a fun group of peony lovers.

Florence Nicholls

Petite Elegance

Cora Loise

Gorgeous, Alex! I bought Florence Nicholls after you posted about it. I hope I get a bloom this Spring!

I'm hoping my Cora Louise blooms better this year as I lost two huge trees near her this year. 🤞🏻

I forgot to include Cora Louise in my album. It seems to a consistent heavy bloomer. Planted in 2014.

Thanks everyone for your lovely photos! I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year Day! I was so tired after the late night on New Year's Eve that I have been catching up on my rest all day.

Frank, thank for the additional photos of AB Franklin. It is offered by Fina for $23/division. Your peony bed is wonderful and so spacious, Frank!

Alex, again what a gorgeous color combo in your second pic. The lupines are just stunning! I can't take my eyes of them! Love all the different textures and colors of foliage you have going in that pic. with LG that Florence Nichol is beautiful.
