Moved My Sorbet Peony, Did I Make a Mistake?

| I planted a Peoney "Sorbet" at the end of Summer 2007, it came up last year but didn't bloom and came even better this year but didn't bloom again. All the surrounding plants around it where keeping the sun from getting at it and crowding it, so I dug it up and moved it a little bit to the left where it had more room, is this the wrong time to have done this? It's now flopping all over the place and I'm worried that I might have killed it.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

| It's pouting, but not dead. It will now need some shade and water to get through the trauma of the move. Can you build a little shelter over it? Yes, it would have been better to wait until the fall, but what's done is done. Don't worry too much. In an emergency situation, I once had to move peonies in the spring and they did fine. A friend told me to put a chair over them (they were small) to give them some shade during their recovery period. Make sure you didn't replant them too deeply (the eyes no more than 2" deep). Sometimes they just take a couple of years to bloom. Patience. They're worth the wait. Enjoy!
