Nancy. Wonderful cultivar. Very large leaflets, very sturdy upright stems. Large buds and flowers, pale pink, fades a lot.

Nikolai Vavilov. Fawkner plant. Some botrytis damage but it shows the sturdy stems and very large flowers. Resembles The Little Corporal somewhat, but is much taller.

Paeonia arietina Northern Glory. I am unsure whether it is a ‘pure’ selection as it never sets seeds and I never got any results from its pollen, so I’d rather think it is a hybrid (and I’ve seen images of the supposedly same cultivar that cannot be the same, so there are others being sold under the same name). I have another P. arietina, which…Read More

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

The roots are an important determination characteristic when trying to classify species plants, but you don’t often see…Read More

@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 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:

To be registered, Amirani, a P. caucasica seedling with larger flowers, more leaflets and easier to grow.
