CC-1-1, which descends two generations down from Coral Charm. Many sidebuds and a better stature, but of course a single flower and a totally different colour.

Nice to see these plants from Hans. I have quite a number of seedlings I’ve bloomed using Hans’ CC-3 pollen (a first generation from Coral Charm) which he was kind enough to send me several years ago. This was the year that they all bloomed : some showed signs of coral color, or interesting and uncommon shades of pink, and I crossed them all…Read More

Een nederlandse video waarin de reporter op bezoek gaat bij My Peony Society, een collectief van pioenenkwekers en -kopers. Ze verhandelen ongeveer 30 miljoen pioenen per jaar, terwijl de totale Nederlandse productie wordt geschat op een goede 100 miljoen stuks jaarlijks. Wie wat inzicht wil in hoe de handel daarvan verloopt, kan dit best…Read More

CNB, a dutch broker for plant growers, organises a peony show yearly. Due to the coronavirus unfortunately not this year. Instead they’ll be making some videos this year to give you an impression of the people that show those peonies. First is Harry van Dongen. The spoken language is of course dutch, but there are english subtitles (choose ‘…Read More

Elsa Sass, the last flowering one we use for cutting here. This marks the end of our peony cut flower season. A good one, these are third year plants. Last year the stems were a little thin and short, but they’ve made up for that now, taller and some 90% of stems very sturdy.

Myrtle Gentry, which is, according to many growers, the most fragrant herbaceous peony. Late flowering, full double pale pink on stems sturdy enough. Alas, it doesn’t grow very well here and I’ve lost a few plants of it over the years, otherwise it would top my ‘favourite pink’ list. The fragrance of this one is simply fantastic.

Paeonia peregrina in Romania, seems to grow in open forests, thus full sun might not be the best option to grow this one?

Here’s a picture of my own lactiflora white. Used to name it Serendipity, but final registration name shall be Mieke Bral, as my better half likes it very much.

Too hot to be able to enjoy them much. This is Canary Brilliants, second year plants, and a lot of flowers have already been cut, but one can clearly see they grow fast. They are basically grown for their reblooming capability, but they are selling well at this time also, notwithstanding that they open very fast.

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

Its a beautifull color .. is there anything about who is the bredder ?

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.

Here’s a flower of Coral Sunset on the right for comparison. Note that Kingsday is only a two-year old plant and will increase in size the following years, thus only the colour ought to be looked at

It also fades as Coral Sunset does, but the contrast is obviously less stark.

It does fade into a soft peach yellow, quite attractive when you have all stages of the flower on the same plants I must say.
