Just when I thought I couldn't get any more confused about my Peony, it changed color! Here are petals from the same plant that I gathered from the ground after the weekend's storms.
How embarassing, it's carpels are showing!
Could this be la belle 'Sarah Bernhardt'? Or is it that French gentleman 'Monsieur Jules Elie'? Or could it be 'Edulis Superba' (in the Billard Room with the candlestick)? Or something entirely different?
