So very good thing TPP took this picture of a new peony taken in trade for something else. It took the division a couple of years to get going, and then adjust to a new location that made it very happy. Voila! The plant is fairly tall and stands up straight, a bit unusual for herbaceous peonies, although this one is assisted by a wire cage.
Not sure what variety of peony this is; the flowers are the anemone-type of double where stamens are transformed into staminodes that have petalloid colors. Not at all natural but quite attractive. It's only about 4 feet from the Aachen Elf iris from yesterday.
