Thanks for the pics from the Brooklyn B Garden. Years ago, I was able to visit there (though not in spring), and it was quite a treat. Majesty's Star catches my eye. Karen's Ofuji Nishiki is spectacular; glad I have it also, though a younger plant. Frank's Nosegay is a pastel delight with the finely cut foliage. Looks so healthy.
Sadly, after a promising start, the peony season has taken a turn for the worse, with temps up to twenty degrees above normal. One is fortunate to get a picture taken before the heat takes its toll.
Iphigenea has huge blooms, but does not hold up well in the heat. No peony, of course, should have to endure this weather.
High Noon was fortunate to be in shade much of the day. That north side of the house also has Shimane Otone Mai. I see that I need to clean the siding.
I was astonished to see Sulli's Leda when mine looked like this:
I am hoping that the herbaceous will receive better weather.
Chocolate Soldier
Alexander Woolcott did not last long in the heat, though in normal temps it has extended bloom.
Pink Hawaiian Coral
Coral Sunset also did not like the heat.
Hephestos held up well.
I had to catch Lovely Rose's blooms quickly one morning, though normally it holds well.
Prairie Moon has a new full-sun location. It missed some shade.
Cytherea has some shade. Its color demands attention.
A lot of the reds did not hold up well. Here are Burma Ruby (foreground) and Bright Knight.
