'Dancing Butterflies' Peony

My friend Gisele shares my passion for single peonies. She phoned me yesterday to come to her garden centre (Gisele's Greenhouses in Chelmsford, Ontario, Tel: 705-855-6621) and take some photos of her display gardens. The peonies were in full bloom.

Alas these flowers have no scent. However they survive rain storms and strong winds without blowing over, and never need staking. I'm always a fan of less work!
