Peony Sunny Boy - Early Midseason Herbaceous Hybrid, double yellow, full double of medium yellow color with purple red flares at the petal base, foliage deep green, Chris laning's Sunny Boy is a good yellow for its ancesatry, two-stage double (flower-in-flower), stamens not completely changed to petals (progressive, rather than over-all transformation) and will make normal carpels in its less advanced flowers, as are typically produced on lesser stems or occasional sidebuds, It is an advanced generation hybrid having restored fertility, readily produces pollen and seeds, presumably tetraploid. In short it is a breeders dream! very rare to get! (Chris Laning 1985). - www.peonyshop.com
