Tree Peonie ID Please

Would anyone know what tree peonie this one is. The flowers are the size of my hand, I'm 5'2" so they're not man size hands but still impressive, the flowers that is!

Pretty sure its a japanese tree peony but inside that group I am still looking. Interesting color!

It's almost certainly Japanese as DirtMechanic has said. I was looking at 'Leda' but I think Keiko Itoh 'Adored' is a better match.

Thanks Sheal . It does look like a match.
Several branches are lying close to the ground. I blamed the mass of daffodils growing under it for weighing them down and was preparing to tie them up. However after doing a bit of researsh I discover there are upright, spreading and semi spreading tree peonies so if Adored is a spreading one it's fine, if its a semi spreading maybe the daffodils en masse may have effected its growth. Any input would be greatly appreciated .

Hmmm.... I don't think the daffodils would affect it but if you're worried about those then you could move them. It looks healthy and happy where it is so I would suggest it's a spreading peony in preference to upright.

Thanks Sheal. I'm sure you're right about the my peonie being a spreading type. And that the daffodils aren't a problem. I do want to move them to another spot but soooo many jobs to do before summer sets in so I've got a feeling they'll be staying put till next year.
