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

P. x lagodechiana (aka P. x chamaeleon). The natural cross from P. caucasica x P. mlokosewitschii. Took a battering from the wet Winter and are much decreased in size compared to last year. Usually quite attractive colours, the yellows are often confused with P. mlokosewitschii, but selfing them for seeds tends to give all kinds of colours, so hybrid…

A seedling flowering for the first time. Should have been P. japonica. Clearly it isn’t. The leaflets have the correct shape, but a reddish pink flower isn’t and P. obovata it is neither as the carpels are tomentose. I quite like the white flare in the petals, it gives a conspicuous contrast.

The new database of SPIN plants is ready I think. I’ve been adding the plants in the old list to the new one, although there’s no real automatic way to do that and I have to do this manually. It may take a little more time to add the last ones of them. But in ways of functionality I think it is more or less finished. I would appreciate any…Read More

Paeonia kesrouanensis now blooming here. You can see it’s far ahead of all other species, some twenty other species are growing around it, but nothing comes close.

Close to flowering: Paeonia kesrouanensis.

I got 2 in the fall – they are not yet ready to flower and are only just sprouting now – a young kesrouanensis Kemer syn. turcica is also there – it is also only showing tender shoots in the wind-protected cold frame.

I don’t think kesrouanensis and turcica are the same. P. turcica will show reddish or rather dark foliage upon emerging, whereas P. kesrouanensis is green from the onset. P. kesrouanensis is also a rather pale pink flower colour, whereas P. turcica is most often reddish, the few pink exceptions notwithstanding of course. P. kesrouanensis flowers…Read More

Showing the plant from the side, you can see how small it is when it flowers here. Images I’ve seen from Syria also show it flowering before full development, but at least in a more advanced state. I believe the much higher altitude and thus lower ambient temperatures prevailing there are the cause of that.

Thank you for your experiences with a scientific character – it’s fun to read. I am also looking forward a little more to my little P. turcica , which I still have to create a well-drained planting place in partial shade – whether it wants slightly acidic soil because it is a forest dweller (as some pictures of the natural habitat show) . But…Read More
