We planted this peony about 5 years ago and every year it produces only one flower! What it lacks in numbers, it makes up for in quality. It's a spectacular flower, quite large and with a brilliant color. Here is this year's offering:

Any Peony should have between 4 and 9 divisions.

You need to work In a good fertiliser around the plant to help It produce more buds. After the summer this year, dig It up, divide It up to 3 clumps and replant Tabby.

I adore peonies but it is too warm to grow them where I live. I have to be content with paying a fortune for them if I want some or want to give them to someone else. Love your photo and hope it grows into a big bush for you one day.
