Peony self-expression

Many of the double or semi-double form herbaceous peonies show patches of red streaks or flakes on a few petals, or narrow red rims on other petals. Each bloom is unique in how it expresses those 'rogue' color patches. These are blooms of Madame Auguste Dessert.

Beautiful banner Elizabeth!

How appropriately named 'dessert'.....the first thought was that of a dish of strawberry swirl ice cream. Otherwise, beautiful in all banner aspects. 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓

Perfect description! I love peonies, my grandmother used to have a lot of them in her yard. Beautiful banner!

Gorgeous creamy peony! I think I have to go get some ice cream now!

Stunning banner! Peonies are beautiful!

Peonies are a personal fave of mine, and I especially love varieties in which there's variation among the blooms.

Yes! Strawberry icecream is a great description!
