it a cultivated hybrid Peony, in lavender or pink
It's an herbaceous peony, but what cultivar is hard to know. The flower itself would be considered an "anemone bomb" because of the shape of the outer immense petals and the inner ones that are a big poof.
It looks kinda like 'Bowl of Beauty', which is a really popular one. Did you buy it lately? If so, from where?
To preserve them from flopping over you can go to Walmart, or any garden shop, and buy peony hoops. They hold 3 legs that go into the ground and a hoop that can be open and closed to get around the peonies, they also give a hand hold them up off the ground. The hoops are $1.79 to $3 at Walmart. You can also try supporting them near bamboo poles posted long the flash of peonies and tying twine as a support.
Answers: here's Bowl of Beauty..

good nickname by previous poster!
My neighbors put tomato cage over the plants when they are about 6 within tall, after the plants don't fall over. Those peonies are pretty.
