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.

Bowl of Cream, a favourite double white cut flower. Some growers don’t want it anymore because it doesn’t give them many stems. I cannot complain about that however, some 10 on average here.

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

A new seedling flowering for the very first time. Belleville x Vanilla Schnapps. Pale yellow and tall from large well covered buds. Looks good, needs some additional years to make a final decision of course 😉

Another seedling ‘PVLB Pretty Foliage’. The name already implies what is best about it, the flower and plant stature is ok, but not spectacular. The leaflets are heavily divided as can be seen. No ‘segments or lobes’ but just a lot of small leaflets, sometimes arranged one over the other. One of the plants which I consider to be very attractive…Read More

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…Read More

Just Peachy, a pale beige colour. Semi-double on short stems. Clean buds, including the sepals. Large buds also and sturdy stems with foliage all the way down to the ground. A very good early peony.
