В прошлом сезоне я получил массу удовольствия от цветения моих новых сеянцев. Это было их первое цветение. Они были все разные и все симпатичные. В этом новом сезоне я надеюсь увидеть еще больше интересного. Вполне возможно время цветения в этом сезоне сдвинется, но на качество не должно повлиять.

Да, верно. Есть несколько групп сеянцев , в которых из родителей есть Lemon Chiffon. Но есть и другие варианты скрещивания с другими родителями. Возможно в новом сезоне получится увидеть еще что-то интересное. Регистрировать планирую в будущем, но надо еще повзрослеть немного. На счет питомников у нас, занимающихся гибридами и селекцией новых с…Read More
pollen of a Chinese lactiflora cultivar ‘xianhefen’ and intersectional peony Hillary.
xianhefen’s pollens are plump and even,while most pollens of Hillary are shriveled with a few normal pollen. I tried to culture them，but neither germinated.![]()

liked thisLast year my ‘Lorelei’ made a flower much lighter than the original, special neon-orange-reddish pink colour (how to describe the colour of ‘Lorelei’ – impossible!) . I will check if this happens again, and then isolate the part of the root.
Has this happened to any of you?![]()

@ruud Ruud Warmerdam has such a mutation from Lorelei if I recall correctly. I think he even named it, but I don’t remember how. Nice colour, but Lorelei never has been a good grower for me.

@ruud Mine comes from Ruud; it would be interesting to know the name 🙂 ‘Lorelei’ is a slow grower, and seems to wander off, now some stems grow well apart from the main plant.

I do have a selection from my Lorelei. Found this mutation in 2011, in the week that my (not-so-little-girl-anymore) was born. Logic and with the heart in my head, I have garden named it after her: Nikita. Ever since I have been monitoring this mutation, to see if remains stabile. And so far it does. I have been propagating it…Read More![Profile picture of Leena]()
Dear Ruud, thanks for your prompt reply. I did write once about this (with photos) on the APS Fb group, addressing Don H, but never received any comments or replies from anyone. I had just one flower (last year) on a stem in the corner of the plant (which seems to have an officinalis tendency to wander around). I will keep a close eye on the…Read More

Actually the crawling habit might be more the peregrina pedigree (it is believed that Rubra Plena etc. are of peregrina pedigree also). For me Lorelei is a wonderful grower. True, the first two years it can be slow compared to others. But then… It just takes off! I am picking 15-20 stems per plant from my cut flower block (picture) every year.

My Rubra Plena is all over the place and peregrina stays put. Hm….How wonderful it would be if this blonde version of ‘Lorelei’ was a ‘Nikita’ – you know I have it on my wish list since you showed me the photo for some years ago, but I never thought it would be a Lorelei mutation. I will certainly keep you posted, and hugs to the Real N.

@ruud – found a very bad photo of the plant from last year with both flower colours.

Very odd, to me. No double appearances in my Lorelei’s nor in my “Nikita’s”. My selection is 100% similar to Lorelei, in every aspect. And my Nikita with long hair enjoyed your hug very much!

We’ll see what happens this year! I will keep you posted. The “blonde” flower appeared for the first time last year, it might have been due to the two dry seasons.

Pretty ones. From the abbreviations I’d think Lemon Chiffon has been used a lot? It shows somewhat in the fact that there are many pastel colours. Will they be introduced in the future, I don’t know of any Russian peony nursery actually? Some resellers are on facebook and there are obviously many collectors with very large numbers of different…Read More
