Age of Gold. One of the early Lutea-hybrids. A shrubby peony (or ‘tree’ peony if you like to exaggerate a little). Pretty flowers and color but the flowers are sideways hanging (the so-called ‘Lutea-hook’) and sometimes hidden in the foliage. Fragrance is very strong and, well, quite addictive.

Dipple Gowt. From Nilitz x P. obovata ssp willmottiae. There aren’t that many hybrids with willmottiae around. Saunders had his Silver Dawn which resulted, some generations further down the line, into Lois’ Choice and Sunny Girl. Dipple Gowt was bred by Fawkner more recently, a sibling of Bhutan and some others. It has a pale greenish yellow…Read More

We’ve been having crap weather for several weeks now. Still waiting for Corals and others to start blooming. Some varieties take the harsh winds, many rain showers and cold temperatures better than others.

Clearstream. Somewhat beige fading to white. Great plant habit, large buds, early. Comes from Claire de Lune x Estria. This plant and its’ father by hybridizer Thierry Rat. The mother Claire de Lune is from P. lactiflora x P. mlokosewitchii, which was a very difficult cross.

Paeonia mlokosewitchii, or at least some garden hybrid of it, I’m unsure whether this corresponds to the wild species. The leaflets are divided till 13 sometimes (5-3-5), which is unlike the species description of 9 (3-3-3). I have better yellows than this, but without doubt mlokosewitchii features in the ancestry of all of them.

There’s no denying that The American Peony Society is doing great work currently. Despite its’ geographic denomination, it is recommended for every peony enthusiast worldwide to become a member. If you choose a digital subscription only, it’s quite cheap as well. Their latest publication of their Bulletin features a long article by Don Smith which…Read More
