What is wrong with peony?

This is a Festiva Maxima we originally planted in another state and then moved a start to our current home. The original plant had the largest flowers of any of our peonies and I don't recall ever having an issue. We planted a start in a temporary spot about 8 years ago. It grew large and had the same large flowers. 3 years ago we moved it to the permanent spot. The first year after the move, it did not bloom. Both last year and this year it blooms but the flowers are not as large as before and most of the flowers have brown on the tips. I'll post 3 photos. One of a flower on the same plant that looks fine or at least almost perfect. It was the first flower to open. Notice brown on the unopened buds and brown on a flower. Most of the flowers and buds appear this way. The leaves show no sign of anything unusual.
