I thought they were tulips. But I'd never seen them open up so wide before.

I've a few colour varieties of those around the house. They all bloomed at different times. Reds like the one you saw, whites and yellows.

The peonies are all over in different sections of the yard. Again, different colours from white pink and red.

Thanks for the help. I'm relatively clueless as to flowers if they're not edible. :-)
