Your peony photos are great. Yes, there are many of these plants in your neighborhood also. Liked your comment about seeing paintings on Jack's blog. How right you are.

They look good enough to eat. Actually, we visited a restaurant some years back near Deland, Florida, and it offered edible flowers as part of the menu. I did not partake. Why pay good money for something I can get to munch on right outside the door?
