    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Each day unfolds anew with peony Dr. Alexander Fleming. Beginning as plump, bright pink buds, Dr. A. opens to rich pink bowls. Given a little more time, the bowls extends into a fuller bloom and the petal tips lighten to silver. Finally, with luck, the flower becomes the star of a bouquet, fluffy and fragrant.
