Working on a better way to make a seed exchange possible. Should be as automated as possible because I only have a limited amount of time available to give attention to it and it’s clear I didn’t do that enough. You may notice some changes here in the SPIN group as I try to optimize it. The list with plants and members that was created is still…Read More

I have a peony species collection which is mostly intended for hybridizing with more recent hybrid cultivars. They are being grown in an elevated bed, under shade cloth, whilst some are being grown in

After quite some time all plugins seem to have adjusted to the updated community software and everything should be working fine again and we’re again running on the latest versions of everything.
In the video: P. daurica ssp daurica

Due to the problems with an update of the software the site is running on, we did a rollback to a previous version. We’ve tried to fix most issues and it seems ok, although you may find an occasional problem. We’ll fix the last ones when there’s a bit more time available.

For Uwe @manolito some images of roots of P. macrophylla. From North Eastern Turkey, wild plants. As you can see: carrot shaped roots, (sometimes very) long and rather slender. Images from Cemal Sandalli, Turkish scientist, working on a paper describing this species in more detail. Publication forthcoming.

Just a small anecdote about a rare peony species P. sterniana. Last year I lost my only small plantlet of this species, even though I tried my best giving it good growing conditions. It was a small root that I received from the Edinburgh Botanical Garden (in Scotland that is). As far as I knew they had the only true plants of this species outside…Read More

A good new. Unfortunalely, as you say, this species is unavailable. In its habitat in South-East Tibet (Xizang), only a few hundreds of plants grow. However if seeds where distributed to growers with the aim to preserve the species, this beautiful peony could be seen in protected collections and maybe, why not, reintroduced in its natural habitat.

@phenix Alain, My aim is twofold here. 1. As with most peony species I grow, I’d like to hybridize them with more recent advanced hybrids. And 2. Make them available to more people. To give that the best of chances I’ve also sent some divisions and seedlings to other (more) experienced peony species growers. It’s best not to put all your eggs in…Read More

Got a seedling 2015 from Teppi and it had rather small and not very attractive flowers, but there was something about the color of the flower that appealed to me. The leaves were stout and quite tall, so I suspected that the flowers would develop as the root grew larger. Today it makes single and semi-double flowers now and the color is really…Read More

With some difficulty when publishing it, here are the results from our latest year of trialling ULO storage of peonies.

good luck pulling the plants and lots of grit under the roots.
