Hi all, I'm a peony lover TBsure and although I rarely post here I'm hoping some of you may have an idea of what's up with my Sarah Bernhardt.

The past two years (2007 & 2008) the blossoms haven't opened fully and the petals are brownish on the outside and the form is distorted as you can see by the pic. The stems seem fine, just the blossoms. Is this botrytis? Is there anything I can do to prevent the same thing happening this season as well? Thanks for any input you may have.

Sandy
