And to end the season here are some images of my favorite pink one: The Fawn.

Peony season is over here. Here are some images of Old Faithful. An excellent dark red late flowering hybrid. One of the very best thanks to its’ strong stems and other good qualities. It does fade somewhat as you can see from the images below. IMHO it is at its’ best when just open and when placed in a vase the fading goes much more slowly.

Some classic peony cut flowers. -
From Green Works, a Dutch grower and exporter of peony roots. They have their own show garden with some 400 varieties. These are some of the early flowering highlights: Lois’ Choice, Paula Fay, Pastelegance.

Pastelegance. Perfectly formed large flower and a very attractive color. Alas the plant habit is far from outstanding.

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.
