A flower I have forgotten to pollinate. This is Paeonia arietina ‘Northern Glory’. An old, but rare selection, it took me a long time to locate one. I’ve posted images of it a few weeks ago, where it showed its pretty foliage. It is also known as the ‘Ram’s horn peony’. If you look closely at the dark red style/stigma above the carpel, you’ll notice it being completely recurved like that ram’s horn. In Turkey, where it also grows, there exists a natural hybrid of it and paeonia mascula subsp bodurri. That one is known as Paeonia x kayae, and from the images I’ve seen very pretty. I cannot obtain that plant, so I’ve tried repeating that natural cross, we’ll see if we succeed in that effort.
