There is yet another type of peony that is rarely mentioned. It's the fern leaf peony and I'm fortunate enough to have one and this year it has 5 buds. The blossom is nearly identical to the peony you talk about, but the leaves are beautiful, lacy, and delicate. They look very much like ferns. I got mine from a cousin in Iowa and was fortunate enough to have it survive a long hot July drive to New Jersey. It's lovely.
