Help me ID some peonies?

9 years ago

Here is my favorite...it starts out with a blush, and then as it opens more and more it turns creamy white. These have all opened only within the last few days; about the same time as the dark magenta colored one I'm going to post below...its probably the shortest, too compared to the others I have.

This one is such a rich, velvety looking magenta! The very edges of all the petals have a silver cast.

This one just really started popping today! Its pink, but with more hints of purple in it....it is the tallest of the varieties in my yard....they have to be pushing 4 feet.

And...the long hedge on the south side of our lot. The original pictured peony in my first post is NOT planted with this group--those are planted on the east side of our home.

The first one maybe Madame de Verneille. Does it smell very good?

My Festiva Maxima looks just like your first one.

Looks like Festiva Maxima to me also. An old favorite. I grow 4 of them.
