Oriental poppies will often throw white growths which are distorted, sort of crumpled up. I don't think it is a constant feature and it's not one I'd be encouraging, would probably nip them out.

Meconopsis impedita
Mec delavayi, looking very stunted... From heat? Too much sun?
Paeonia anomala x lutea, or at least that's what it is supposed to be ??? From Severin Schlyter seeds, so should be true.

Yes, I'd think from too much heat and sun, Bjørnar.

Oh werll, I'm certainly not complaining about that! ;D

John;

Lovely plant, but it's misidentified as you suspected, that's S. oleracea.

It seems that the hesitant spring has been pushed aside by summer as June arrived in Ann Arbor.
Here are pictures from the peony garden at the Arboretum of the University of Michigan this weekend.
They have a collection of heirloom peonies with some 700 plants.  Just about 50% were in full bloom.

(2) Grandiflora Nivea Plena
(3) Duchess of Portland
