A form was added to this group so that anyone can submit the species plants they are growing themselves. If most of us are willing to share seeds, then it will be possible to make those rare species more widely available. You don’t need to be a member of this group nor even of the site to…Read More

As some may (or may not) know, I grow peonies as cut flowers. Some of my clients (florists or end customers) at times spontaneously take some pictures of those and there are always a few rather pretty ones. Here you have some of those. Showcasing mostly The Fawn, Old Faithful, Coral Sunset, Amalia Olson and Bowl of Cream.

Our peony season if completely over. Pastelegance was chosen as the Peony of the Year. That’s not a favorite of mine as it doesn’t grow too well here (Belgium). It has a very beautiful double flower, I cannot argue with that, but the plant habit is failing here. One that has a somewhat comparable color (perhaps a little paler) is Just Peachy,…Read More

What sets the standard for a normal species and what counts as variation within a species? When I think of our garden varieties, should I really count them as one species or should they all be classified as some type of hybrid with more or less species equal traits?

Endless discussions can be had about what species are. And as you may know, there are ‘splitters’ and ‘lumpers’. Biological (do they cross easily), morphological (do they look alike) and genetic (how different is the DNA) definitions are possible and even there you have the question of how much difference is needed to have another species or…Read More

Bought some seedlings for some years ago and this one with name P. mascula ssp arietina. Never seen any of my other peony seedling with this yellowish leafs color. This is fourth year in garden and it seems to grow slowly… or is this something else?

Not sure what it is, small seedlings tend to look somewhat different. I’ve gotten a few such seedlings with yellow leaves, but here they tend to die slowly. Yellow leaves tend to scorch in full sun and the plants grow slowly. If you’re looking for an arietina (not mascula ssp arietina), then perhaps you could try P. arietina ‘Northern Glory’ which…Read More

A rare gem for most peony hybridizers: B-3, an as yet unnamed and unregistered seedling from Bartzella x Lemon Chiffon, thus an intersectional backcross, of which there aren’t many. It’s a sister seedling to Moonwalk (formerly B-4) and Golden Monika (B-1). All of them hybridized by Hans Maschke from Germany. He has no nursery, and doesn’t sell, no…Read More
