Leslie, While Innocence is pure white indeed. Another peon with bright white petals in my garden is Minnie Shaylor but it has yellow center.

I only have a small number of peonies compared with many of you but I do love them. Here are my single peonies.

Burma Joy:



Golden Frolic (weather got to it before it fully opened this year):


Soft Apricot Kisses:


Pink Dogwood Whisper:


Sophie's Lullaby:

Very beautiful peonies, Leslie. I haven't seen Sophie's Lullaby before. Very nice.
Your Soft Apricot Kisses photo is amazing!

Wonderful photography of lovely blooms, Leslie! They look so dreamy. The lighting is really nice and soft. Overall just a beautiful effect! Sophie's Lullaby, SAK, and PDW pics are my favorites. Thanks for sharing!

SAK and PKK are my favorites too. Just beautiful!

Thank you all for the nice comments. I get that soft light in the late afternoon. It is so complimentary to flowers. I have shot many of my iris photos in that light as well. I would like to say it is all by design but really it started as me running out to the gardens with my camera as soon as I got home from work.

One of the most interesting points of this cultivar is that it is named after two grandmothers, Riva and Ida. Registered by Steve Varner, Monticello, Illinois,1985. This is the only peony listed in APS for Harrell.

So pretty and cheerful, Frank! It sure brightens up one's day.

In the APS registration, this peony is called semi-single:)

That's very pretty, Frank. Thanks for giving us something to look at today.

Very beautiful, Frank! It is one of the nicest picture that I have seen of Border Charm. The yellow shade is more intense in your flower than others that I have seen.

I love the color too.

Does $30 seem reasonable for Neon? It's at A &D. I'm getting Immaculee and Tecumseh. Waffling on Neon and Lorelei (which is $52).

Neon used to be much cheaper in some places, I am not sure why it is so expensive.

My Neon finally bloomed, and I like it. It is bright!

Sorry guys! I meant to post in the 2022 orders thread but I appreciate the feedback!
