Gorgeous flowers everyone! Karen and I are in the same region and it got hot, peonies are opening all over the place. I really can't keep up, this year in anticipation of launching my vases for sale, I'm committed to arranging with every peony I can but the hot weather makes me have to try to hustle and not everything else in the garden is ready to cut from.
I need to move Rosy White Clouds this Fall to a better location, it's dwarfed by Capt'n Kate which was amazing this year. RWC is one of my favorites in this Rock type coloring.
My arrangement, it got dark and the flowers closed up but the lowest bloom is Rosy White Clouds. I need to cut some brighter foliage to lighten this one up, I wasn't super happy with it so I'll be doing a new version tomorrow.
this is not Ice Age, I have no idea what it is and I'm checking my past orders

Vela, only 2 blooms this year but so pretty. I think it's similar to Leda, slow to increase
Anna Marie opened and faded in a flash-back plant, Angel Emily opening
Sunny Girl, big increases this year
Correction: This is Majesty's Star, not Majestic Center, first blooms and there are 7! planted 2022 from Peony Shop, I also got Triphena Parkin at the same time and that has HUGE flowers not yet ready but very happy with the increases and it looks like it might be adventitious. Will have to put the sprouts somewhere to see what they are. These were super splurges so more plants would be a nice bonus
Copper King, first blooms-planted in 2022 and there are also 7 blooms!
