It’s still too early this year to write a full article on my experiences with long term storage of peonies in Ultra Low Oxygen circumstances. There are a few articles on the site that describe results from previous years. They all have in common that I started the year optimistic, but never succeeded. It appears to be the same again this year. I…Read More

A form was added to this group so that anyone can submit the species plants they are growing themselves. If most of us are willing to share seeds, then it will be possible to make those rare species more widely available. You don’t need to be a member of this group nor even of the site to…Read More

Some of my clients (florists or end customers) at times spontaneously take some pictures of those and there are always a few rather pretty ones. Here you have some of those. Showcasing mostly The Fawn, Old Faithful, Coral Sunset, Amalia Olson and Bowl of Cream.

A rare gem for most peony hybridizers: B-3, an as yet unnamed and unregistered seedling from Bartzella x Lemon Chiffon, thus an intersectional backcross, of which there aren’t many. It’s a sister seedling to Moonwalk (formerly B-4) and Golden Monika (B-1). All of them hybridized by Hans Maschke from Germany. He has no nursery, and doesn’t sell, no…Read More

Still featured on the front page: Paeonia broteri. An Iberian (Spain/Portugal) peninsula endemic locally known as Rosa albardeira (Portugal) or Rosa de Alejandria (Spain).
