Clearstream. Somewhat beige fading to white. Great plant habit, large buds, early. Comes from Claire de Lune x Estria. This plant and its’ father by hybridizer Thierry Rat. The mother Claire de Lune is from P. lactiflora x P. mlokosewitchii, which was a very difficult cross.

Paeonia mlokosewitchii, or at least some garden hybrid of it, I’m unsure whether this corresponds to the wild species. The leaflets are divided till 13 sometimes (5-3-5), which is unlike the species description of 9 (3-3-3). I have better yellows than this, but without doubt mlokosewitchii features in the ancestry of all of them.

Nancy, its’ third year. Impressive I’d say.

pollen of a Chinese lactiflora cultivar ‘xianhefen’ and intersectional peony Hillary.
xianhefen’s pollens are plump and even,while most pollens of Hillary are shriveled with a few normal pollen. I tried to culture them，but neither germinated.
