Ohhhh, the color on those last peonies is so terrific ! Do peonies have a scent? I've never grown them, are they fussy or easy?

Do Peonies have a scent? Oh Danny, are you ever in for a treat; get thee to a garden center!

And they're easy peasy perennials.

I do like the roses that have such intoxicating scents and stock also smells good, so peonies also have a scent as well as great form and colors?! How have I missed these?!!
