Ballerina (Saunders, 1941). A bit short this year and less double than usual, but these are second year plants after division, recovering from a severe infection with fusarium/cylindrocarpon two years ago and this is after a very wet Winter with higher than average temperatures. A was a (rare) bright day when photographing them, so they look a bit…Read More

If I don’t forget it (which I quite often do) I always take some images of the roots of my species plants whenever I move or divide them. Given that I often loose them afterwards you might say it’s for ‘nostalgic’ reasons mostly. The roots are an important determination characteristic when trying to classify species plants, but you don’t often see…Read More

I have some seedling species peonies that I will need to move this fall and next fall. Do you have advice on transplanting to avoid shock/ death?

@rmulhero Transplanting species peonies is more difficult than transplanting usual cultivirs with a higher fail rate. But it goes best when they are young, thus small seedlings. From what I read, it seems your plants are just that. Absolute key to success is clearly the location where you plant them. Most species need some shade, unlike most…Read More

Paeonia emodi. Easy grower, but also easily damaged by poor weather. The ones growing outside look terrible, with lots of damaged leaflets and flowers. I have one plant growing in a sheltered position, that one is looking great and here are some images of it.

Paeonia officinalis ssp microcarpa (also known as Paeonia humilis). Growing in Portugal/Spain and South-West France. Not a fast increaser here, only one stem, but it does show the characteristics of the species with rather narrow leaflets and indumentum on the stems and petioles. The subspecies microcarpa differs by having more segmented leaflets…Read More

You rarely see images of them at all, and then it happens that in the span of only two days several dozens appear. Here’s P. tomentosa again on instagram:

Some improvements to the SPIN plants database. You can now sort them in several ways (by species name, but also most recent ones, those with images first, by origin…). Or you can filter them (the difference with sorting is that the ones not ticking the boxes are not listed anymore). And you can search within these plants for whatever you like…Read More

The person posting the images of wild P. tomentosa on instagram surely has an interesting page with many botanical treasures of Iran. I was wondering whether I would come across some other peonies and hey, what did I find? Another so-called P. wittmanniana, but this time from Mazandaran province, which lies much further to the East and which is…Read More
