Thanks

Coxcomb/celosia, I think.


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


Nope...not even the leaves resemble peony.


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.
