I can't help it. I know that peonies are over-photographed and sensual beyond all ration. I can't get enough of my six plants. I sneak out to the garden all day and whiff into their enveloping scent, touch their delicate edges, rhapsodize on their ruffles, and drown in their passionate colors. I'm not alone as I stand and wait my turn, after the ants, bees and other insects which I can't identify.
So now I know what my plant is called - a peony! It bloomed for the first time this year and I didn't know what it was. Just like your top pic! Thank you!
