Peony - Dr. Alexander Fleming The Peony Dr. Alexander Fleming, Paeonia lactiflora 'Dr. Alexander Fleming' is a double bloom peony with pink blossoms and curled inner petals. Peonies are one of the best cut flowers and are often used in the Midwest to decorate gravesites on Memorial Day. All of our peonies are widely adaptable to most soils across the country.
