BEAUTIFUL!! and yes, I meant to shout ;)
Got me wondering, I was up choosing a new peony the other day and passed on Coral Sunset because the description was 'coral pink' and was not quite what I wanted. I wonder if the same name is used for 2 different plants either side of the pond.

It does start as coral/pink Scottish. Like I posted here:

But then it fades slowly to this yellow/beige colour. Some people do not like it because it does not keep the colour. I do. It is slightly fragrant. There is another one called Coral Charm which is also pretty (almost the same) but does not smell so nice. Which peony did you buy?

That explains it theen Klahanie. The peony I bought is P. Fragrant Pink Imp. A deep pink double (mid season blooming) - said to have a good scent. So we shall see. I've come across Coral Charm many times too.
My Itoh hybrid is called Border Charm - I should look into which it's parents are, perhaps Coral Charm is in there!

Same Hybridizer (I've looked it up) who gave us "Coral charm" and "Coral Sunset". Hope it will do well for you Scottish. It will be quite a show when the clump gets bigger.
