Peony Envy

One time I called them the French Poodles of flowers. I thought they were absurd because the blooms were so huge they couldn't be supported by their stems. But after seeing them bloom en masse at various botanical gardens and realizing they didn't only come in magenta or white, but all shades inbetween with even creams, lemons, butters and corals, I grew to like them.

OK, so I am still craving them because we don't have any of our own (they take up so much room that we really don't have). This has been a really spectacular year for peonies around Madison, so I'm going through this really horrible peony envy.

Tonight, I succumbed to googling for peony porn on the web.

What have I become?

But what's up with this one? Weird genetics going on there.
