Another P. daurica. This time subspecies daurica. Grows next to subsp coriifolia, so easier to compare. Greener foliage, much wider leaflets. Colour of the flowers is the same. Somewhat taller. Same flowering time. The main difference surely is the shape of the leaflets. I find the daurica classification rather difficult, but we can’t change it.…Read More

One of a few different Paeonia daurica flowering now. Bought as Paeonia Ruprechtiana, it should be daurica subspecies coriifolia if I’m not mistaken. Red petals when in bud, but when open they fade somewhat. The leaflets are longer than they are wide. A purplish cast to the foliage. Rather short growing.

Paeonia caucasica, white selection. Now flowering outside, always very early.

This one is a selection from Pink Vanguard X Lavender Baby. The flower is nothing special, but it has very pretty foliage, consisting of a large number of smaller leaflets that grow slightly one over the other.
