They opened Wednesday/Thursday, were fully open by Sunday, and pooped out with the 80+ deg F on Sunday and light rain today. I did get a few good photos in-between.

This weened I'll be at a open house of a Peonies grower and seller near my town. They are both in the ground and in pots in shade houses.
Near Rome ther is one the most complete collection of Peoniesof the world. Look on the web for "Centro botanico Moutan" and... WOW!!
