About the peony's color

Indiana designated the peony in 1957 — the only state flower chosen by a public vote. Peony season lasts just 2-3 weeks in late spring, which is why cut peonies are pricier than roses. In ToonTone Guess, we represent the peony with the hex value #FF69B4 — the color most people see when they picture the bloom in a vase or in a field.
