Playing With Peonies

Hey everyone! I think it would be fun to have a yellow peony plant but they can be kinda expensive. Since I have white in the garden I thought I'd make yellow... and why not orange and red while I was at it:@)
My little science experiment: In the morning I cut partially opened buds (about 1/4-1/3 open), cut the stem on the diagonal and placed them in water with a lot of food coloring, 20+ drops. 
It was warm out so they completely opened up by the time I got home from work.

And we all know any good science experiment requires a test tube...
I'd like to thank my friend T for this post, not only did she gift me the peony tubers years ago, 
she also gave me the cool vase! Thanks T:@)

PS-In case you're lucky enough to have peonies for Memorial Day-red, white and blue would be fun too.
Have a happy day!
