Do you know of a single, coral pink peony?

| I saw a rather short in height, single coral-pink peony that almost glows. It's planted at a golf course that blooms happily with virtually no attention, but is simply gorgeous! Does anyone know of any such variety? I briefly considered visiting the place at night with my trusty spade and bringing it home, but my conscience just won't let me do it. Sigh . . . |

| Flame is a good one, holds it's color fairly well. |

| I think that Coral Fay, although it is considered semi-double, fits your description. Unfortunately I cannot say this from personal experience. The specimen I have has not bloomed yet. I think it may be planted to deep. I plan to dig it up and lift it higher this fall. Hopefully I will get lots of blooms next spring. Here is a link to a picture of Coral Fay |

| A friend of mine in Sebastopol (California) has Coral Fay, and it does look just like Coral Charm, but single. It's quite beautiful. Here's my coral charm that's been open about a week now. It was cloudy today, so it's not opening all the way.

| Thanks everyone for your tips. The links are especially helpful. I don't have one single peony yet in my new garden, sigh, but aim to fix that really soon. Happy gardening everyone! |

| Consider Coral Supreme. It is one of my favorites, though we nearly lost it during our move 2 years ago. Poor drainage in the new location and a lot of its roots rotted. I moved it last fall and it seems to be responding to a new location with better drainage. These pictures were taken in 2003. Dave

| I don't recall seeing Coral Supreme on Hollingsworth or Peonyparadise.com, but I'll look further. If there are any other suggestions, I'd sure appreciate receiving them. Thanks for your help. |

| You may also consider, "apricot whisper' which is a pretty one with songsparrow.com. Some other sites are adpeonies.com, ricecreek.com, etc. Good luck! |
