You rarely see images of them at all, and then it happens that in the span of only two days several dozens appear. Here’s P. tomentosa again on instagram:

Some improvements to the SPIN plants database. You can now sort them in several ways (by species name, but also most recent ones, those with images first, by origin…). Or you can filter them (the difference with sorting is that the ones not ticking the boxes are not listed anymore). And you can search within these plants for whatever you like…Read More

The person posting the images of wild P. tomentosa on instagram surely has an interesting page with many botanical treasures of Iran. I was wondering whether I would come across some other peonies and hey, what did I find?

Hi Koen, from years of growing in warmer climates. Just to mention a few. Red Charm a definite no go. Red Charm, it blooms 1 week before Coral Sunset in Belgium and in early climate it flowers 1 week after Coral Sunset, Red Charm will germinate with first the bud then the stems. Bowl of Cream is one of the lactic that is best suited for warmer climates.
Climate change in Morocco made us move up the mountain. When started 14 years ago we had 15 cultivars at 700 meters altitude, Now there is just 1 left. Coral Charm.
One additional note. We had Bridal shower on 700 meter. Few flowers and mostly deformed, but big bushed. Lots of foliage. We dug them up after 4/5 years and they had enormous root systems. We could divide them in 6 to 8 new divisions.
