https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157452215927256&id=286230507255A very interesting article on peony hybridizing, its’ past, present and future. Authors are nearly all from China, showing that, at least in the domain of exact sciences, they are top notch. It’s in an ‘open access’ journal, so freely available to read. Not exactly bed-time literature as one needs to have a clear head reading it, but well worth…Read More

Pink Vanguard, which has as its parents Salmon Dream and Blushing Princess. It resembles the latter more than the former and grows far better than both here.
2 CommentsTja, da’s inderdaad vreemd. Ik had geen uitval erin dit jaar zoals je op de foto’s ziet, maar het zijn maar tweedejaarsplanten natuurlijk, dus veel kon ik er niet mee doen.
