For the life of me, I can not remember the name of this culitvar.  It's blooming now -- zone 5b, Maine.  I would say it's an earlier blooming peony as all of my others are still in bud form.   Anyone know this peony?

tatwood writes: 'Scarlet O'Hara' is a true scarlet color, whereas this photo is more of a burgundy. If the actual plant is really scarlet, then you're right about the cultivar. I know photos often do not show the color as it actually is. Oh, and this is not a Japanese form - it is a single form. Posted: 8:02 am on February 2nd
