Pink peonies

Good morning. I’m still on my peony roll and enjoying it so far. The weather has battered them all somewhat so I’ve been having to resort to friends’ gardens for their remnants. I bought some last week from a very well-known (and expensive shop) that were in bud and they have never bloomed!! They are still in tight bud form and starting to shrivel. I’m not amused but since the nearest branch is 10 miles away, I’m not going to return them and have a moan. In the meantime, here are some from last week. I’m waiting for the sun to come out so that I can get along to Coton Manor and paint the peonies in the beds there. Fingers crossed.
