Red Grace is reminiscent of Red Charm which I love. Both have the larger flat guard petals and the smaller slender center ones. Mackinac Grand is probably the cleanest purest red I have seen 'in person' and seems to me to emulate a rose. Super strong stems to hold up those large flowers. I still put a hoop around it to keep the outer stems more upright. Were it is a larger spot I could just let it sort of spread out. It would be gorgeous.

I think I got it wrong, It is Red Charm. I also have Red Grace but the picture is Red Charm.

LG, even as it ages, Prairie Butterflies is gorgeous, I need to know where I can get this plant!

gray, your Red Charm, and white peony is beautiful.

I've got so many plants blooming right now, we've had temps in the 80's this past week, now a lot of heavy rain over the weekend
Here are a few of my plants.

Lady Orchid is about to bloom, this is the 1st year a lot of the blooms didn't ball, and not open.


Sarah Bernhardt


Piertje Vriend Waginaar


Torch Song



Georgiana Shaylor

This was supposed to be peony Vivid, it was started from a very small root in a pot, than planted in the garden last year. It looks more like Sarah Bernhardt



Raspberry Sundae

Jacorma is also about to bloom

With all the plants blooming, I still have a plant that's just emerging I'm hoping it's the Buckeye Bell, that I thought was lost.

Just awesome displays of peony blooms, Gray and Annette! You are making me so very excited about my peony blooms! Wow, I really like the dark green glossy foliage and pink buds on Jacorma! So gorgeous!

Annette, your garden is stellar! So many gorgeous peonies, and I love how you've combined them with clematis vines!

Just found this thread, too many beauties to comment on all, but thanks everyone for sharing, and keep 'em coming!

The 3rd year is a charm.....a Coral Charm After the long wait, it's putting on a show!





Scarlett O'Hara


America

One of my absolute favorites : 'Roseheart'

'Raspberry Ice' was small this year. I am guessing too many frosts and freezes.

With all the plants blooming, I still have a plant that's just emerging I'm hoping it's the Buckeye Bell, that I thought was lost.

I had one like that, and I pulled it thinking it was a weed!
Quickly replanted and watered it!
But it just looks like a dry stick, with pink bud further down.

My single noid, the only regular peony single I have.










Kansas about ready to pop open.

Jerry, I think I had the same peony, and I don't know the name either.

It has similar lookalikes in various catalogs but this one does not match the bloom times. This is always the first of the regular peonies to bloom. Roselette and Early Scout are first but they are hybrids with fern leafs. This was one of my Walmart 3-in-a-bag purchases nearly 20 years ago.

To disbud or not to disbud? That is a question... I have buds on almost all stems coming from 2015 fall planted peonies....Old Faithful - 7 stems, 7 buds, divided Etched Salmon - 5-6 stems each and I already can see 3-4 buds on each, not sure about the rest as they are still unfurled. 2 divided Red Charms - about 5 stems each and at least 3 buds...Rest - similar. I guess I am being greedy and should cut them, but wait for another year! Oh dear...

Karl Rosenfield bloomed today

'Annemieke' - this peony is not registered with the APS. My friend picked it up for me from Lowe's in 2013, and this year is its first decent bloom. Costa Farms lists it, and the sticker on the Lowe's pot had them as the grower. It is really nice.


Here it is after several rain showers moved thru.

This is 'Miss America'

And 'Cythera'





and 'Goldilocks'

Love all your peonies, LG but Goldilocks steals the show. Wowee! What a stunning bloom! How old is your Goldilocks? I read that it will bloom this form only after it is very established.
