Peonies

Mark, 'Buckeye Belle' is indeed a striking variety. But it is not a cultivar
of Paeonia lactiflora. It's a hybrid of P. lactiflora and P. officinalis.

It's a good example of a peony which should be considered by those who
garden in climates where spring heats up quickly. The Paeonia officinalis
parent gives it its early blooming season.

They're all wonderful.
