Peony Identification Pls

12 years ago

Hello, I recently moved to an acreage in GP and am wondering what several plants/shrubs/trees are. I gardened in Zone 8a for the past 20 years, so I'm on a bit of a learning curve. I'm studying Lois Hole but still have some questions. Do you know what cultivar of peony this is? It's a single pink blossom and quite lovely.

Leandra, welcome to the far north!!!

I am wondering if these are fern leaf peonies? They are indeed very lovely. Can you take some close-up shots please?

That looks a lot like Dancing Butterflies, but hard to say without closeups. I'm not an expert either. Search for that name and see if you think that might be it.

Looks like a fernleaf to me. They are early bloomers and usually the first ones up in the spring. Well established fernleaf peonies will form a very nice bush that is long lived. Native peony, they come up looking like a Dr Suess character from " If I Ran The Zoo" IMO. They like old dirt too..... :)

Thx for your comments. Although the blooms look somewhat like Dancing Butterflies, I think the foliage (and flowers) look more like a fern leaf. The peony is blooming well ahead of the other peonies in the garden. Thank you for your help.
