Paeonia 'Bowl of Beauty' 5/2022 Lactiflora U1- (Hoogendoorn, 1949) (2-JAP-PK) Lactiflora Cultivar Peony, Mature plant size: 32in., PINK, fuchsine rose, center pale lemon, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-8, Michigan Bloom Month 5-7, In Garden Bed U1 for 4.7 YEARS (Michigan). Planted in 2017.

Paeonia 'Bowl of Beauty' (Hoogendoorn, Netherlands, 1949) is a 32” pink lactiflora cultivar. A Japanese type bloom, very fragrant, midseason. Guard petals are fuchsine rose, staminodes are pale lemon yellow (creamy). Sometimes rose petals are mixed in with the staminoides. Flowers can reach up to 12" in diameter. Hoogendoom registered a total of 7 peony cultivars, all in 1949.

2020 note: Fairly certain this is not Bowl of Beauty. Reviewed Michigan Bulbs peony list and did not see any peony that looks like this. Is one of a few peonies that displayed mildew in 2020. Not true to name.
