In the hoophouses, peonies are growing fine. The difference between the gibberellin treated plants and untreated ones can be clearly seen this year. Only Mme Claude Tain growing in this one.
The early peonies are coming out of the soil by now. Below is a current image of a very early hybrid which I intend to register with the American Peony Society (APS) this year.
