It’s one of the best weeks in the garden, as most of our peonies are in full bloom. We usually miss part of the show because we’re typically in Maine when they start, but things are so late this year we got to see every bloom as they opened – a gift and a bit of a silver-lining moment for the delay in good weather.
This variety is probably the most color-saturated and vibrant of our collection, though it lacks in that heavy heavenly peony fragrance – one of nature’s trade-offs I suppose: to get something, you have to give something.
