From these last series, they've received a long warm period and will now go into cold storage. Here the two…
The peonies are growing strong, but it seems not all as good as last year. My tunnel with the whte lactiflore Mme. Claude Tain seems to have less stems than previous year and the sunny weather the last days has scorched some leaves, which results in botrytis of course. Fortunately the other varieties seem less susceptible. What caught my eye…Read More
For those interested in Saunders peonies, a new facebook group has just been created. Apparently there’s quite some interest in it as in only a few hours it has accumulated nearly 400 members and many pictures of both common and rare Saunders varieties.

Paeonia mascula ssp. hellenica….Large shrub with large white stunning flowers!! Please can anyone advise how to care for this beautiful shrub.

Pretty ones. From the abbreviations I’d think Lemon Chiffon has been used a lot? It shows somewhat in the fact that there are many pastel colours. Will they be introduced in the future, I don’t know of any Russian peony nursery actually? Some resellers are on facebook and there are obviously many collectors with very large numbers of different…Read More
