River Tud again (outside growing this time), an as yet unregistered plant from Harald Fawkner. A very attractive, brilliant red colour on sturdy stems with dark green leaflets. Somewhere between single and semi-double. Don’t know what its parents are, but P. peregrina surely features in it, as the foliage is reminiscent of it.
The lockdown and gardening.

A small documentary about a peony farm in my own country. In French, but you get to see several flowering plants with their cultivar name.
Daedalus, a Daphnis hybrid. A very large plant here. Reliable and a very intense red colour.
Hélène Martin. Actually a ‘Lutea-hybrid’ and it shows in the hanging flowers unfortunately. Otherwise a pretty, large, floriferous and healthy plant.

Two species that are close to one another. I should check in detail whether they are what they are supposed to be, but from a good source. First Paeonia anomala, then Paeonia intermedia. Intermedia should be somewhere between P. tenuifolia and anomala. From these plants I would agree.
A seedling plant this one. Garden name ‘Kato001’, which is the best selection of some 400 to maturity grown seedlings of Pink Vanguard X Lavender Baby, and which thus has Paeonia coriacea genes. Very good garden plant, very early, but alas no cut flower because, although it remains firmly upright, the last part of the stem just below the flower…Read More
