I was talking with a friend yesterday. I remember her saying she had purchased a peony and the first season it had a red bloom, as she has expected.

The next season, and all the following years it has bloomed pink, and she said it is as big as a dinnerplate. I gotta see that!...and get a start.

Does anyone have any ideas about what may have happened? She is not the sort to try and pull my leg, and I really do believe that is what happened.

I believe what she bought was just a generic no name red peony in a pot from a local nursery.
