Oh I am swooning over the peonies, Chicky and Yvie! Very atmospheric photos, Chicky.
Lovely photos - I keep forgetting to visit this thread so there's always a lot to catch up on. Dove, that close up flower is fantastic too. I need to go back and note its name (codonopsis, I think?).
Sussexsun I have a red rose exactly like that one. It was here when we moved in, though we didn't discover it under the overgrowth for some time. It's an extraordinary colour and texture, though photos never do it justice:

Gorgeous roses & peonies everyone, Took this yesterday in my garden peony bartzella absolutely worth it’s place in the garden, with Rose for your eyes only
I agree about Bartzella. I had eight flowers on my three year old this year. It replaced molly the witch. The flowers seem to last longer. Chickys Molly looks a lot better than mine ever did.
