Yeah, it's that time of year when the peony buds become huge explosions of color and scent overnight.
Festiva Maxima is a glorious white with unpredictable red color breaks. This year the breaks are minimal. No complaints!
This peony holds a special place in my heart. She came from a wonderful neighbor who loved gardening as much as I do. It sprouted out in her front yard, much to everyone's surprise, after she removed the overgrown junipers. It's officially Festiva Maxima, but I always think
of it as Joan Winkel. I wish she still lived two houses up so we could share our enthusiasm.
And it's my most rambunctious and reliable peony. I think it knows how much I love it!
