Mislabeled Peony

Two years ago I have added two varieties of peony in my garden. They are Bowl of Beauty and Duchess de Nemours. As newly planted bareroot peonies, they did not bloom in their first year. Today, my suppose to be Bowl of Beauty has bloomed. I was looking forward to seeing fluffy looking and creamy-centered flowers but here is what the blooms look like:




The flower measures about 3 to 4 inches across and it opens wide. I hope you can help me ID this peony, my dear readers. Have a nice weekend.

Iris Guatemala

Here is one of the named irises that I got from trade. A tall bearded iris with bluish-white standards and brownish falls. It smells like orange. The color combination is something different. It is calm and soothing.
