Pronunciation of Peony?

[LiquoriceWheel]

I've heard pee-OH-nee and pia-knee. Which is the correct one? Thanks

[SloanyAnne]

I think the first one.

[Ginmakesitallok]

Pee-uh-knee

[KittyVonCatsington]

Neither. Ginmakeisallok is correct. It's Pee-UH-knee

[WhoKn0wsWhereTheTimeG0es]

Pee-uh-knee. Emphasis the same on all syllables.

[LiquoriceWheel]

Thanks everyone!

This is one of those words I can't refrain from pronouncing in a comedy posh accent. As in "I say, have you seen pee-orn-ey, I ave lost it whahle I was playing the grande piarno".

I am childish.

I thought this was in Baby Names....

Er...no. I'm trying to learn how to grow peonies in the garden.
