The relatively early whites are wonderful, they don't seem to brown as quickly as those that open later. I forget if that one is fragrant, did you check, SoCal?

No Liz, I can't get access to it easily, I have stuff there, it's even harder to get a picture. I'll try to move the container there and check later.

Today I moved the container with decomposed granite, my husband dug up an area to improve drainage. I finally got smell Le Cygne.
Liz, it has some fragrance, but I'm not sure it's good or bad, it's hard to tell, and my nose is not that good or sensitive.

So Cal, Lovely! Especially enjoy the series photos.

So glad you posted Cytherea, I did not know it faded so nicely....floral designers make it sound like it doesn't fade...adding it to my list!

Thanks everyone. I think I like Pastelorama when it's not opened too. Here is a photo this morning. This peony does have a nice fragrant, but it's relatively new in my garden so it's not as strong.

Command performance is here, suffering from the rain.

Pastelorama, I think this one has a nice fragrance, but can't really tell what it is.

Wow, Command Performance is so full and gorgeous! Can you please post its fading? CP has really nice fading as well. May need to add this one when I open up more space.

Thanks Karen, I will add more photos as it fades, but somehow this peony doesn't have a lot of foliage, just a stem with flower, I may have a second bud because I didn't move this one at all.
