Origin
This flower is a tribute to the loved son of Lyman Cousins. Lyman Cousins and Klehm registered her in 1972. However, Colonel Owen Cousins has been grown just recently by our growers. For this reason this peony is an exclusive one.
Special copper glow
The peony has a white bud with a copper glow. This causes the rusty color of the peony. When the bud opens up, the glow shifts to the center. Almost like a magical spectacle that sets off slowly, but steady. It makes the flower special: you can see the color change in front of your very eyes.
