Amazingly enough, the deer haven't bothered them.
It's supposed to rain today and my peonies are pretty much finishing up for the year.
Here's the last pix for this year (p. rockii again, yesterday).
The bad thing about these peonies is that the individual flowers only look great for a few days tops.
Multiple blooms extends the show, of course.
And each species blooms at a little different time,
so I'd say I have at least one of them blooming for about a month.
When they're at their peak, the flowers are stunning,
so I think it's worth it, despite the short display.
Now I'll wait patiently for next year...
