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 &amp;amp;amp;lt;a class=&amp;amp;amp;quot;wpg-linkify wpg-tooltip&amp;amp;amp;quot; title=&amp;amp;amp;quot;&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;div class=&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;wpg-tooltip-content&amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Growing mostly in deciduous broad-leaved forests, pine forests or mixed forests, less frequently in grasses. The species prefers calcarious soils and is found usually at altitudes from 50 to 1,500 m. Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy (Mt San Donato di Ninea), Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Turkey.&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;The most distinct character of Paeonia peregrina is its always teeth-lobed leaflets or &lt;a class=&quot;wpg-linkify wpg-tooltip&quot; title=&quot;&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;wpg-tooltip-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;a leaf is &amp;#039;segmented&amp;#039; when it consists of pieces of various shapes, which are more or less separated from one another&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.peonysociety.org/registered_peonies/segments/&quot; &gt;segments&lt;/a&gt;, which distinguish it readily from P. officinalis and P. saueri.
