• The new database of SPIN plants is ready I think. I’ve been adding the plants in the old list to the new one, although there’s no real automatic way to do that and I have to do this manually. It may take a little more time to add the last ones of them. But in ways of functionality I think it is more or less finished. I would appreciate any…Read More

  • Paeonia kesrouanensis now blooming here. You can see it’s far ahead of all other species, some twenty other species are growing around it, but nothing comes close.

    • I got 2 in the fall – they are not yet ready to flower and are only just sprouting now – a young kesrouanensis Kemer syn. turcica is also there – it is also only showing tender shoots in the wind-protected cold frame.

      • I don’t think kesrouanensis and turcica are the same. P. turcica will show reddish or rather dark foliage upon emerging, whereas P. kesrouanensis is green from the onset. P. kesrouanensis is also a rather pale pink flower colour, whereas P. turcica is most often reddish, the few pink exceptions notwithstanding of course. P. kesrouanensis flowers…Read More

      • Showing the plant from the side, you can see how small it is when it flowers here.

        • Thank you for your experiences with a scientific character – it’s fun to read. I am also looking forward a little more to my little P. turcica , which I still have to create a well-drained planting place in partial shade – whether it wants slightly acidic soil because it is a forest dweller (as some pictures of the natural habitat show) . But…Read More

  • Paeonia Maximowiczii???

  • Das ist eine Paeonia obovata Maxim.aus der Region Priamurie. Die Pflanze ist sehr zierlich, ca. 40 cm gross. Die Blüten bleiben geschlossen.

  • 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.
