Paeonia peregrina in Romania, seems to grow in open forests, thus full sun might not be the best option to grow this one?

A new good seedling flowering for the first time. Parentage uncertain.

Here’s a picture of my own lactiflora white. Used to name it Serendipity, but final registration name shall be Mieke Bral, as my better half likes it very much.

Too hot to be able to enjoy them much. This is Canary Brilliants, second year plants, and a lot of flowers have already been cut, but one can clearly see they grow fast. They are basically grown for their reblooming capability, but they are selling well at this time also, notwithstanding that they open very fast.

Here’s a rare mutation from Coral Sunset, being sold at the Dutch flower auctions as Kingsday. It’s unregistered I think. As the national colour of Holland is orange, it’s a fitting name for this cultivar, it being less salmon and indeed more orange (Kingsday is a national holiday in Holland to honour their King). I personally experience quite…Read More

It’s a mutation, so there’s no breeder involved. I don’t know if it was only one stem that showed up initially or if it was a complete division. Perhaps @paul-bijman knows more about it.

Here’s a flower of Coral Sunset on the right for comparison. Note that Kingsday is only a two-year old plant and will increase in size the following years, thus only the colour ought to be looked at

A sunny and warm day we have, peonies going fast. Here’s what I consider to be the best single yellow: Concordia Droysen. Exceptional plant habit and an attractive lime yellow colour.

Féerie, a hybrid with P. peregrina, bred by Cayeux, unregistered, although some offspring is. Upright growth, looks good.

These are some failures within my seedlings, flowering now (Coral Sunset is now blooming, if you want to have an indication of their blooming period) . Flower pretty enough, but usually the plant habit is poor or they have ‘open buds’ which is something I don’t want.

Paeonia emodi. Not a particularly easy species to grow. Buds and flowers are very frost prone, although the plant itself is hardy enough. Early Windflower or Late Windflower are far superior, but then you don’t have the species of course. It’s difficult to buy the true species, unless you start from seed as I did. The species has foliage with less…Read More
