One of Hans Maschke’s masterpieces now in bloom here: Andreas Maschke (from Bartzella x Lemon Chiffon, thus an intersectional backcross!). As it grows older, the flowers tend to become much larger and more double. Really impressive I think…

Early hybrids are blooming (Vanilla Schnapps, Ballerina, Pink Vanguard, Grand Massive…). Still too early for Red Charm. Pictures show a field of previously selected and propagated seedlings that eventually weren’t good enough. Six years old, so fully mature. Still a pretty sight I think.

Peony Forever Yours. A young plant grown in a hoop house. It tolerated the heat very well.
