Default Flower ID?
My wife just picked up some flowers from a local fair.

Can anyone help ID these?

Coxcomb/celosia, I think.

If they have a very good fragrance, then possibly peonies.

I cannot grow peonies in my climate. The winters are too mild. The
last time I saw peonies growing and blooming was seven years ago in
Delaware and Pennsylvania. Thus, I could not remember how the leaves
look.

Nope, they aren't paeonies. I agree that it's coxcomb - that flattened
wide top to the stem is the clue IMO.

Thanks to you all! Clearly a Coxcomb (my picture was not so good.)

What a nice flower.

Come visit in the spring and I will happily have you stroll through
mine.

I was looking for a photo to show my neighbor yesterday and came across
these:

http://www.iserv.net/~lfisk/peony-1.jpeg
http://www.iserv.net/~lfisk/peony-2.jpeg
http://www.iserv.net/~lfisk/peony-3.jpeg
http://www.iserv.net/~lfisk/peony-4.jpeg
http://www.iserv.net/~lfisk/peony-5.jpeg
http://www.iserv.net/~lfisk/peony-6.jpeg

Nothing special really but thought you might enjoy seeing them again

We've had these peonies ever since I can remember, probably ~50 years...

Nice photos. I like peonies and they grow very well here in the
Catskills, plus deer don't eat them, but I don't plant any as their
flowers don't last more than about a week before their weight tends to
collapse the entire plant unless very well supported... for most of
the growing season a peony bed is just a jumble of non descript green
shrubs that require a lot of weeding. My next door neighbor has over
100 peony plants in a large bed that was planted when the house was
first built, about 1890. He's always offering me some but I tell him
no thank you, I'd rather enjoy yours.
