I've had Coral & Gold for many years. Rugged & beautiful. It blooms after my 2 Japanese species, my P rockii, and the fernleaf peoney. Just a little after my tree peony.

Well, Peony Coral and Gold always takes my breathe away. It is my first peony to bloom and I love it. I've added several last year. One, a red single, bloomed first year and it is very nice; especially since it was a $5 end of season. The other two never budded, both are rescues from other gardens.
My favorite up to now has to be OsoEasy Paprika - a "carpet style" rose. LOVE IT. 

I'm still in the early days of the garden - not much excitement yet.

So what showstoppers have you had in your gardens so far?  What's the
plant (or combination) that left you in awe of Nature and your abilities
to cultivate her?

And I mean that in a good way, because otherwise mine would have to
be Bishop's gout.  I wonder if I will *ever* be rid of that plant.  :)
The only thing that seems to kill it is Packera aurea, which is
another one I'm fighting to eradicate.  Curse the Cincinnati Zoo
and Botanic garden for showing Packera to me in flower!
