It’s a seedling from Flevo Star. Probably from pollen with Blushing Princess. After discarding several seedlings from Flevo Star with dull single flower this seedling indicates that Flevo Star has (hopefully) doubleness in its genes. The foliage is nice and large which is the best feature of Flevo Star as well. https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/4402/ Thu, 21 May 2026 08:05:14 +0200

]]> 0 e0b1b5dc7a0412d7e5db3d4f8fb52e14 I am posting an image of Andreas Maschke (B3) flowering in my garden. Very nice plant, herbaceous in appearance, very similar to its pollen parent. The flowers have pollen and carpels. I have used its pollen on so called fertile itohs to increase the tree peony characters and obtain fertile backcrosses. I tried it also on herbaceous hybrids like Blushing Princess and Old Faithful and got a few seeds last year. I have pollinated B3 with other similar peonies like B2 and B1 but results are still to come. I have a couple of seedlings from Andreas Maschke open pollinated still very small. This plant and its siblings are very promising for breeding https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/4370/ Sun, 10 May 2026 21:46:24 +0200
