Are you a fan of contests? Are you creative with names? I just learned that Cricket Hill Garden is having a contest to name a really pretty new peony. Winner will receive the peony.
Check out the peony contest here.

Also, check their site if you are having problems with your peonies. Cricket Hill Garden is the place to go with any type of peony questions.
