I would like to learn more about how you acquired the pink. It is supposed to be vary rare according to everything I have read. I just cut the last blossom from my double reds today. It was a late bloom but we are expecting heavy rains tomorrow and I don't like to see the stalks bent over.

Jerry, I thought that would perk your curiosity. Smiling I bought it from a fellow in Kansas City. Do you belong to the Heartland Peony Society? You might want to check it out. Smiling

I dropped my membership in APS due to its being geared more to meetings etc. I think the HPS may have more to offer to people like myself, non-pro but serious about peonies. I just may join.

Back to the pink fernie, that is not only hard to find but is a real treasure if my info is correct. I may have seen one for sale by one of the top nurseries but the details escape me.

These are straight out of the camera without any modifications so the colors are not exact.

OH, that is pretty.Reminds me of a rose. How tall does it get?

My pink double is up and budded already and a couple of the new ones have a bud. I still need to dig up the one that hasn't shown any pips. I guess it died.

This pink single tops out at about 28-30 inches. Early bloomer compared to the other regular peonies.
