Peonies are my favorite flowers. I grow them professionally as cut flowers and also propagate some to sell B2B. Next to that I am an amateur hybridizer with interest in both advanced hybrids and species. I grow several species myself and try to obtain most herbaceous ones. Next to that I'm also the developer of this site.

Have been growing peonies since spring 2008 when I got some peonies and loved the flowers. Since the start, I have only bought according to color and shape. Started with lactiflora mostly for the reason that they were on our garden and probably planted in the 50s. It has been difficult to get tree peonies to develop in our garden and because of that, seed sowing has been a natural part to try and today there are about ten tree peonies in the garden. Collecting peonies originating from Irene Tolomeo and now passed 20 of them. Have about 40 Itoh peonies and some seeds F1 and F2. There are around 260-280 varieties and seed plants of herbaceous peonies.

I grew peonies for cut flowers for 10 years. I am breeding peonys as an amateur for 5 years now. I work at an potatoe breeding company as botanical analist and work a lot with wild potatoe species.

Joined the American Peony Society in 1984 and started hybridizing in 1985. Read about Saunders, and visited Hamilton College archives several times in the 1990’s, copying many records. Decided to start a project that includes taking Saunders plants several generations further, while repeating some of the Saunders crosses to see what he must have seen, but were never photographed for those of us in the future. This project required species plants. Some species plants came from Galen Burrell, but most are from seed of various sources, like Will McLewin, The Scottish Rock Garden Club, the Alpine Garden Society, and the North American Rock Garden Society. At the present, this has resulted in a very large collection of seedling plants. All seedling data, ( and Saunders information), is in databases. Unlike some growers who might discard many seedlings early on if they don’t have a particular feature, most of the seedlings here have been allowed to grow to 10 years old or more, allowing some sense of the mature form. This is a one-man project, taking all my time, with nothing left over for sales, and only a little for distribution. I admire natural species plants for their beauty. At the same time, I do have a few goals of hybridizing. One of these goals is to produce a tall plant with very large leaves. The standard of comparison for this feature is the area of the photosynthetic blade (in square inches) of the largest leaflet, and it must be a repeatable feature, not just a one-time observation. To date, the largest single leaflet of this effort is about 36 square inches. I am a huge fan of the richness of species as shown in photos of those found in the region of the Caucasus. In spite of considerable effort to get a plant of macrophylla that breeds like Saunders’ macrophylla did, not one of many putative macrophyllas has proven to be ‘correct’. I would very much like to find a true source of the plant I here define as “Saunders macrophylla”.

I am both a professional gardener and a commercial grower. I was first introduced to peonies by my grandfather. When I grew up, I went to agricultural school to study plants and now I manage and grow peonies.

I am a horticulturist at a private historic botanical garden in North Carolina. We grow P. ostii, P. rockii, P. japonica, P. Mlokosewitschii and many others. I am interested in learning more about the species, especially tree peonies.I am also a watercolor artist and interested in describing the different flower forms more accurately!Cheers.

I have been addicted to peonies for over 15 years. I like nothing more than seeing them shooting up in the spring. As a fine art photographer, my on going series "Paeonia erotica" focuses on the diversity of peony flowers. @chantale_noel_art

I’m 30 and live in northern Victoria, Australia. I’m married with three children. I live in a rural area and summer is very hot. I’m interested in hybridising and growing species from warmer areas. I also hybridise irises.

I was born in Ukraine where I have a peony garden with a lot of plants. Now I live in Sweden but still love this flowers and bye them to my garden in Ukraine. I dream to have nursery in Sweden and try hybridization.
