Colors with cameras can vary, especially in the reds and deeper pinks. I am always happy to see more petals on a tree peony seedling, than singles, due to my own preferences with flower form. I love fluffy full peonies, larger flowers are nice too. Some I have noticed over years to develop fuller flowers just when you think you know what you have… A recommendation not to rush to judgement, wait a few years before tossing in the trash 😊

Thanks Tracey! Seems like I have better results with the peonies this year than previous years. They are early blooming this spring too, such that I will have ample peonies for Mother's Day.
Here are some new peonies blooming in my garden today.
For Ruthanna, Joanna Gilbert's last 2 good blooms.
