Morning has broken.
Paeonia lactiflora 'Early Daybreak'

DP142-2013  Posted May 22; processed ditto.

This is a classic 'single' in terms of accepted descriptors for flower-type among peonies.  It has a single row of petals and retains pollen-bearing anthers atop narrow stamens.  It is consistently the first of the herbaceous peonies to bloom in the main beds of the Peony Garden.  Of course, the rock and tree peonies (woody peonies) bloom a few days earlier.
