Sorry guys for the delay! Have been feeling under the weather since New Year's Eve. I need some pretties to cheer me up!

I love a good pink peony! THe only problem is there are too many good pink peonies! Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Here are some of my favorite pinks.

I'm sorry you are not feeling well, Karen. The holidays can be very demanding! I hope you can rest up so you can enjoy Spring.

Your pinks are beautiful!

Your Salmons are lovely Alex!! Etched Salmon is beautiful, but a slow grower for me.

I'll be back with some pinks over the weekend.
Hurray!

Ok, just a disclaimer. I LOVE pink peonies. I have a lot. Here are some blooms from last year.

It doesn't look like the photo on the Lithuanian website. But is still pretty.

Bess Bockstoce- this is a "must have" for pink peony lovers. And it's not very expensive. Does very well in the South.

Anya, did you have the flu? A girl at work has it and now I'm worried I will come down with it!
I'm glad you are better.

Your pinks are gorgeous. That first NOID is cute!

Love that photo Gallery,Frank.
Blue Sapphire is gorgeous!
I have never seen Ozark Beauty. Of course it's labeled as a late peony, so it would not bloom for me.

Your Sarah looks amazing!!

Thanks again for sharing with all the information. Thumbs up

Thanks all for the well wishes! I too caught some bug, not sure what but possibly a mild flu. I have been just so exhausted and have no energy. Finally the worst is over I think. I am glad to hear that you are on the mend too, Anya! LG, I hope that you don't get it from your coworker! Try to get enough sleep and rest.

Wow, what a great show everybody!

Alex, your Etched Salmon is perfection! I like Salmon Dream too. Though not as floriferous as other and takes sometimes to get established, each Pink Derby is always perfect and full! You will love it as it has a lovely unique 3D look to it!

Anya, I like your NOID too. What a beautiful light pink color!

LG, love your mis id Jubilejnyj! I love its red petals among the pink and white petals. I think it is gorgeous! I also like Pink Tuttifrutti and Pure Joy. I agree with you about the beauty of Bess Bockstoce. It is a peony that everyone should have in their garden.

Frank, love your spacious garden space! Your peonies look so happy and unrestricted. My favorite from you collection is Alexander Fleming. Wow, what an absolute delight! The flowers are so gorgeous and full and the form and color are just perfect.

Here are more of my pinks

LG, Not sure it was a flue but definitely something bad, stay away from it! Thanks everyone for good wishes and great photos! I'll add some more, unfortunately my camera was not good to catch the beauty of wonderful flowers.

Frank, is your Barbara fragrant? My NOID looks more similar to Barbara than to Edulis Superba but description of Barbara does not mention fragrance. I like all your peonies and have not Eslie Pickett before. Lovely!

Beautiful blooms, Alex, Anya, and LG!

Anya, your NOID is really beautiful! I love it!

ALex, hope to see more blooms from your tree peony this spring!

LG, thanks for posting your wonderful collection. You grow many that I do not so it is really nice to see them here.

Karen, it is fun to look through my photos to choose the ones for this these threads.
Also, it's a good chance to see peonies that you might want to add to your collection.

We have had another run of mild days, but aside from the three woody peonies that have some leaves, I'm not seeing any of my fall planted roots emerging, which is a good thing!! We never have more than a few days with snow on the ground, so that has always worried me.

@gregnc WOW! Your pic is absolutely gorgeous, Greg! Aptly named, those bushes are gigantic allright! Look at the buds on the ones next to them! I love how the bushes and flowers are supported. Very nicely done! I wonder what they use for support because I don't see it in the pic.

Hi Karen,
Yes, some of the plantings are well established and the bushes are huge. They seem to support them with bamboo stakes and garden twine. If you click on the first photo to enlarge it, you can see the supports.
