I think you're correct on number one. Thats all I know :)

Ithaca, NY(Zone 5b)

deerchicktwo, your pink peony in #2 looks like Felix Crouse. I grow it too and the edges fade, just like in your photo.

Fenton, MO(Zone 5b)

I agree on number one, festiva maxima. Number 2 and 3 are so close, as are the Felix Crouse and Dr Alexander Fleming peonies are. So possibly number 3 is the Dr.

Oh my gosh, I don't know what it is, but if you have any extra from the pink/red one #2, I'd love to have some :)
Thanks

#4 is bowl of beauty(I think...)
...Haven't ever grown it, but has been on my wish list for a while, and looks like the photos I've seen of it...

I've changed my mind! lol...
I now think #4 is westerner...I saw a great photo of bowl of beauty, and it is a much deeper pink than some of the advertisements show...
The westerner is (supposedly) a paler pink...

Number 4 could be possibly be Lady Alexandra Duff.

LOL! How funny! I just came back to say I now think #4 is Lady Alexandra Duff, but Imelling beat me to it! lol...
Lady is classified as early to midsummer, and supposed to sometime look like a double, and sometimes look like a single with a big bomb of petals in the middle. Does that sound like yours??
