As you probably know there are many dozens of types of peonies and many are single petal types. The Claire De Lune is a Japanese type and it can be seen in eithe a white petal with large yellow showy centre (like the one I have) or in a pale yellow with a yellow center. You do not see them too often, at least I haven't. They are fairly pricey and they do not bloom for too long. I have a number of the old fashioned type of peonies and I love them all....except of course if we get a huge rain or high winds when they are in bloom...they can be so messy. I think the old fashioned peonies have a stronger scent, but then there are so many petals on each flower, perhaps that is why. Loved seeing your photos and look forward to returning to your blog. I have always been a gardener and when we relocated a number of years ago to another city I really missed the huge gardens I had and mostly hated to leave my greenhouse behind. It was excellent and had both a heating and a cooling system, running water, etc. so it not only served my love for gardening but for paper making. But, I sure don't miss all the work that went along with it (sigh). Hugs, Gayle.

I promise these pictures could have been taken in my yard - full of violets, hyacinth, one crab apple, lilacs, etc. I had to look twice to make sure I hadn't taken them - gave me the weirdest feeling LOL!<br />If you put a picture of my house next, I will know I have hit the twilight zone. (I also LOVE Hitchhikers Guide - have it on paper, on audio and video!) :-)<br />Linda B.Linda B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05997800152601657200noreply@blogger.com
