So many great plants on display  - I had to highlight this paeony  from one of fermi's shots -  so VERY dark!


 Even the lower one is quite rich - but the upper one is as dark and shiny as I have seen.

Sorry that I didn't get a pic of the name on that one!
It's possibly Paeonia 'Thunderbolt' or 'Black Panther' or some such thing!

It may also be the American hybrid 'Hephestos' bred by Nassos Daphnis or the Saunders hybrid 'Black Pirate'. (They both tend to look redder in sunlight.)
