This is a Peony I got from my brothers inlaws.
I have no idea if it even has a name, but it's pretty.

Oh I can smell it from here! We got one giant plant of that one from a friend whom had no clue of the name also. It's more of a pink rose color and the smell if heavenly. That one I love to share flowers of!

I have one exactly like that - and I dont know the name either. I love the scent of peonies outside - but if I bring them in the house they make me nauseous and headachey. Same with lilacs

But both are at the top of my favorites list.

Same as Snow here. I love em outside. Inside, they smell like soap to me.

SOAP!?

I'm hoping to find the label from mine somewhere as I know I saved it........probably stuck in a book. It looks a lot like one I have blooming now.....

Very pretty color

I have several of these that I rescued from a mixed border about to be turned into a cornfield. The lady who planted them had moved to town years ago, but still owned the farm until she died in her early 100's. I don't know the name either, but they are vigorous and lovely, and for sure have been around for a good long time. I think her mixed border was planted back in the 40's.
I don't bring them in the house anymore either. Love the way they scent the yard, but they make me sneeze if I get them inside.
