To be registered, Amirani, a P. caucasica seedling with larger flowers, more leaflets and easier to grow.

P. x lagodechiana (aka P. x chamaeleon). The natural cross from P. caucasica x P. mlokosewitschii. Took a battering from the wet Winter and are much decreased in size compared to last year. Usually quite attractive colours, the yellows are often confused with P. mlokosewitschii, but selfing them for seeds tends to give all kinds of colours, so hybrid…

A seedling flowering for the first time. Should have been P. japonica. Clearly it isn’t. The leaflets have the correct shape, but a reddish pink flower isn’t and P. obovata it is neither as the carpels are tomentose. I quite like the white flare in the petals, it gives a conspicuous contrast.

P. morisii (P. corsica) from Sardinia.

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.

Close to flowering: Paeonia kesrouanensis.

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. Images I’ve seen from Syria also show it flowering before full development, but at least in a more advanced state. I believe the much higher altitude and thus lower ambient temperatures prevailing there are the cause of that.

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

Bought a peony from Belgium in February, but was not what I expected. Wondering what it might be? Suspects that it is a P. daurica.

Difficult to say. Only the petals are clearly visible. But given that it’s early and has an average colour and from the leaves I can see vaguely in the distance it might well be what you think it is, a P. daurica. I think P. daurica ssp coriifolia (or better-known a P. caucasica).

One of my favorite growers has been Irene Tolomeo and with each new one in the garden I have been able to enjoy her fine breeding work. Started with ‘Sonoma Welcome’ and since then there have been almost 1-2 new ones per year. The interesting are her variety of Itoh peonies and how well grown the plants are. Know that there may be some new…Read More

Have bought peonies on several occasions based on the name and the first was probably ‘Going Bananas’ who doesn’t want one with that name? Or haven’t we all had a ‘Bad Hair Day’? Who hasn’t been sitting with a bad card in the card game ‘Svarte Peter’. Those make me happy and are easy to remember. What is your best name peony and why?
