‘Lotus Bloom’ after a downpour.\u00a0 Flowers were beaten down but the foliage remained upright.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silvia Saunders referred to the “exotic buds” of this peony, presumably due both to the fringed petals and white streaks.\u00a0 There are several Saunders peonies (and newer ones like ‘Pink Patterns’) with a distinct white flare on the back of the unopened petals.\u00a0 Always lovely!<\/span><\/p>\n

I would almost describe the look of this flower as “flouncy” due to the fringed edges of the outermost petals. Truly a distinctive peony flower.<\/span><\/p>\n
