2012 Intersectional Peony New Growth

The new intersectional peonies I just planted a week and a half ago are growing nicely. One of them seems to be having a bit of trouble, but it is still growing. The pink growth on Peony 'Scarlet Heaven' has a bit of brown/black on the end of it. It also seems to be a bit slower growing and turning green than the other three. Here are a few pictures of some of the new growth on these intersectional peonies. I think they are happy in their partly sunny, moist spot near my deck. These peonies were originally purchased on Ebay, and they are definitely intersectional peonies. The new growth and the foliage on these is exactly the same as my other intersectional peonies, and quite different than the new growth on herbaceous peonies. Whether the cultivar names are accurate is yet to be determined, but I think they will probably be correct.
