Peonies: Should 'new' growth be sprouting .. now(?), 1 by Magpye

Earlier today .. I'd noticed some of my 'unknown' Peonies have about 2-4 brand new 'eyes' sprouting out from the bottom!

These, were planted in my yardens earlier this spring .. to which, they'd appeared to have died completely (when we returned from an extended vacation, back in early part of September).

I'm curious; should these guys be 'behaving' by putting on 'new' sprouts .. now(?) I don't recall witnessing this before - after 9 years of Peony bliss, here in NW Arkansas. It's been mitey cool .. but, not any freezing temps, yet. I'm a bit baffled .. and, ohhh so thrilled .. all at the same time.

Perhaps I've simply managed to 'miss' noticing this in previous years
