Herbaceous Peonies
The ones you are used to. Probably Grandma's lactifloras.
Lactifloras bloom all the way to the end of the season in late June. There
are many other herbaceous peonies besides the lactifloras. Hybrids usually
bloom before the lactifloras. "Fern leaf" types brought to Iowa by the
pioneers are the first bloomers at the end of April. The end
of bloom here is with "Elsa Sass" and "White Innocence".
At my house the tree peony bloom is generally before the herbaceous peonies,
with the mid to latter 1/3 of tree peony bloom running over into the herbaceous
bloom.
Hold or click your
cursor over the picture to look at the URL listing. If you are using
Internet Explorer, keep the 'status bar' active on the bottom of the
screen. (Click on the "view" above in Internet Explorer, and put a check
mark next to "Status Bar") It will give you the names. The captions will be done
later. I'll also split these into more pages, because it takes too long to
load for those with "dial-up" modems.
