Thanks!

Can't help you with a site or instructions, but peony supports are
pretty commonly available at garden centers here, although not
specifically marketed as such. They tend to be more generically referred
to as 'plant supports' and typically consist of a plastic coated wire
ring divided into a grid. These are suppported by leg attachments. You
place them over the plant as it begins to develop foliage and growth in
the spring and the stems grow up through and are supported by the grid.
They work great on any number of taller, floppy growth perennials and
because they are almost always colored a deep green, they tend to
disappear into the foliage and become invisible. Not sure exactly how
they could be constructed of wood, but I'm sure some clever person could
come up with a plan!

Here is a rather poor representation - the rings appear much more
obvious than they do once properly established, but their method of
operation is clear.
