Thanks very much for the acorns and thumbups, everybody! I really appreciate them!
Anya, Scrum is a short bush. I think it is about 2'. It is currently cramped between two other peonies so it cannot grow out as much as if it has the free room. It blooms very well this year. Duchess de Lorraine does keep the flowers upright, though they will flop with heavy rain. I really like it because the flowers seem to be very heat resistant. It opens well even in 90F and the substance holds up too.
Wow, LG! That is so exciting meeting Don Smith! How cool is that! It is like meeting a celebrity to me. Did you ask him a lot of questions? Does he share any hybridizing secrets? I am all
