Peonies

Any good ideas for a good collective noun for peonies. Mine would be a passion.
The extra's are more of the same.

Here's another gem from Stevie Smith that made me smile rather than grumbling at my ever aching body.

The Jungle Husband
Dearest Evelyn, I often think of you
Out with the guns in the jungle stew
Yesterday I hittapotamus 
I put the measurements down for you
      but they got lost in the fuss.
It's not a good thing to drink out here
You know, I've practically given it up dear.
Tomorrow I'm going alone a long way
Into the jungle. It's is all grey
But green on top

Only sometimes when a tree has fallen
The sun comes down plop, it is quite appalling.
You never want to go in a jungle pool
In the hot sun, it would be the act of a fool
Because it's always full of Anacondas, Evelyn not looking ill-fed  
I'll say.  So no more for now, from your loving husband Wilfred.
