Photographed these Peonies one week ago.
All the plants are from seed:

Still only tight buds here in Aberdeen, so it's a real pleasure to see these flowering elsewhere.

Mine are behind Stefan's, Lemon Chiffon has just opened here.
We've had a few days of warm sunshine and now they are all coming out in a rush; you want to tell them to slow down so you get chance to appreciate each one...

Great display, are these all raised from seed?

[Guff]

Jeff, thanks.

All were grown from crosses I did.

[Jeffnz]

All from the same cross?

[Palustris]

I think this one is called Flame

And this one maybe Coral.

This season, this is my favorite, it was bought in a supermarket for a few euros ...

Lovely to see how your seedlings are coming on Guff. And Stefan, agree that Krinkled White is such a good goblet-shaped flower at that stage.
Here things are coming and going very quickly;

I had a similar problem with 'Callies Memory', last fall I moved it to a lighter and richer soil and it bloomed very well this spring.

Stefan, do you think feeding the plants would have the same effect as moving to richer soil?
