Incredibly impressive pictures, Karen. Do you have to look at vocabulary to write the first peony name down :) ?

They are all stunning, I love the different shades of pink.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing :)

Lovely shades of pink! I understand that the first one was a chance seedling, with plant habit of Kansas and color of Sarah Bernhardt. I have been somewhat disappointed with Walter Faxon, as stems are lax and bloom somewhat flat. Is Pom Pom the same as Pink Pom Pom? (No, I see it is not.)

PVW was suggested to me as a substitute for The Fawn to me. How do you think it's performed in your garden, Karen? Lovely flowers! Particularly like the blooms of PVW and Walter Faxon.

I also grow the Fawn. There was a bloom but the rain battered it so bad so I couldn't make a good comparison between the two. From what I can make between the two of them, I think the Fawn has deeper pink specks than PVW and it also is a darker pink flower. I think that I would prefer PVW over the Fawn as the stems are sturdier and the lighter pink color of the blooms looks nicer. Also the buds and young growths of PVW are very dark blackish red so the bush as a whole looks really striking even before the blooms open. I do like WF but they look best if you disbud and provide support.

Whom did you order from? Here is my The Fawn from a few years ago. Unfortunately, it got verticillium wilt, but I have replaced it.

I got the Fawn from Swenson Peony last fall. It was a very nice root. I got only a flower from it though. Hopefully there will be more next year.

The Fawn is one of those I've lost new growth on the last 2 years, have yet to see a bloom. I was told PVW is tougher, hope they were right!
