JENNR8R, they many not be at their showiest, but they are a splendid color. One of my favorites. I bought a winter coat that color this fall and my favorite interview suit back in the day was that color. They may not have hired me, but the interviewer would remember me. Tee-Hee-Hee
I know nothing much about peonies but Mr. Goggle likely does as well as a local garden center or the folks down the road that have a clump of them "to die for". Enjoy the scent.
