Sorry but those have been altered or the camera picked up the wrong hues. There are several almost blue TP but not of this shade. If it was true these are ugly colored blooms.
New from where? Appears similar to pictures used to sell Lavender Lady and Blue Lagoon on ebay several years ago. Many on here remember what they actually turned out to be.
Haha, very funny, the person that Photoshopped these flowers didn't pick up every last bit with the magic wand. Also, the deep blue shadows totally give a way that the effect was produced with a color shift of a dark pink flower.
I do have to say it would be very unusual for a tree peony to have blue areas on the stems like that. I would guess the original color was probably in the pink range.
Like Maifleur said there are already some tree peonies that are rather close to the blue/purple range when they first open then turn more red as they age.
snasxs, Lavender Lady and Blue Lagoon were peonies. As I recall they both turned out to be pink Chinese cultivars that could be purchased in bulk from Chinese supplier for about $0.50 each and someone put the photoshopped pictures on them with a price of several dollars. The importer made a killing, Walmart made a killing and gardeners across america have something in gardens that need to be dug out.
Leon, I would not buy anything from China. I do not really care either. But to the best of my knowledge, this is exciting news. The two blue spots in the second picture are two other flowers behind.
