Here's a Peony...

This is a red Peony bush, Karl Rosenfeld, coming into full bloom now.

I love Peonies, and their only problem is they don't last too long in the season. I have to enjoy every moment while they are here. I have another one that blooms a little later, a pink one, and one peony tree I transplanted from a too shady spot last fall which won't show blooms this year.
