Paeonia mascula ssp mascula from Cyprys, the Troodos Mountains. I used to have two different plants of it, but one of them died last Winter. This one has grown fine, from two stems last year to four this year. Whereas I often see this species with rather dark pink flowers, this plant has paler ones which pale somewhat further at blooming time and become more lavender. They also have an attractive flare at the base of the petals. The backside of the leaflets is slightly tomentose here, although that is only well visible when they start growing, at blooming time it’s very hard to see. My other plants was glabrous on the backside, so there is apparently som variation.
For some images of the wild, have a look at this website:
