New Peony Blooms Today
Oooh that's beautiful!
Thanks Billy.. :) Soon the whites and pinks will kick in too.... :)
Diann
Me too. I'm down to three, all from different people and all old ones. No names. My white and pinks have opened..
Such a deep red! I love it!
all gorgeous~ but that buckeye belle is really something...did you find it locally or through mailorder??
I got Buckeye Bell at a local greenhouse, but it's easy to find via the internet. I didn't pay a lot for it, maybe 10 or 15 dollars. It might be more expensive via internet, I don't know..
And really, BB is only a shade darker than the other two, it's just that BB isn't fully open yet.

If ya all are bored looking at these please let me know and I'll knock it off. But I hope you enjoyed them. :)

Your peonies are grogeous! Love the pics.
Beautiful peonies, Ticker.....now I am the jealous one!!!!
Thank you Grdnlover, I still have quite a few to bloom yet. :) Usually, if all things work out well, I can have them bloom till about July 4th.
Steve, you have no reason to be jealous, you have some of the best looking peonies I've seen in a long time. :) You just get to have yours earlier, so I'm the one that gets to be jealous. :)
I need to get some of the corals. I didn't buy any peony last year, which really isn't like me, but I'll get some this year. I'm still drooling over some of Mr. Hollingsworth's peonies. I have a couple of peonies that aren't really happy where they are, so they are going to get moved this fall. I'm planning on spraying them with Messenger tomorrow to see if it helps them fight off cladosporium.
I'll try to keep posting new pictures to this thread so as to not scroll the forum too much. Please let me know if I'm boring you. Thanks.

No you're never boring, so keep posting....though I wish I could have peonies till July 4th!! Mine are finished about the beginning of May.
Would you remember the name if you saw it? if so, you might want to try the Heartland Peony Society's web page http://www.peonies.org/ You can search by a lot of different factors. With or without a name, it's a beauty. :)

Went out this morning, and what follows is what is blooming today....
This is supposed to be Do Tell, but it's not a very nice bloom, this time, last year it looked more like the classic Do Tell all though a bit washed out on color.. This is it's fourth year in the ground, so maybe it's just trying to get a feel for the place. Again, it's not a very nice picture... But it was blooming...
Do Tell
Great pictures, ticker....I didn't realize you had so many peonies! I especially like your "Raspberry Sundae"
