Paeonia tomentosa ssp archibaldii (aka P. archibaldii).
Peonies are growing well here. Dry warm weather, very little rain, not too windy, cold nights. More or less perfect circumstances thus and the ones above ground are looking really great, such a difference with last year. Here some interesting pretty ones.
