Mary Stella… maybe take one bud inside place in a vase may help open the buds as long as the buds are the size of a marshmallow. Some of mine have had a slow start do to weather. The buds are too small. Last year by this time they were all blooming. They need sun warmth during the day to open outside. Sometimes I'll cheat and pic the buds at the right size and bring them inside. They last a long time longer than outside.
This spring the weather is stuck in winter… last year I had peony blooms I picked until July.
Either way I hope the buds open soon. Sometimes they can be so stubborn. I have some early blooming peony's and later blooming too.
