Dark red ones shown on Facebook. First ever image I’ve seen of Sable. Peter Brand is in reality much paler and more reddish compared to Buckeye Belle. Red Glory I’ve never seen and the Russian (?) one in the lower right…Read More2 Comments![Profile picture of khurtekant]()
Hello Bob. I’ve also got both Old Soldier and Valkyrie with the latter being my favorite as well and with the same remarks. Another nice dark red one is Night Watch, which grew very well here. Haven’t done anything with it. I do have a few seedlings with P. parnassica, although still very small and, until now, many of them have struggled and died…Read More
CC-1-1, which descends two generations down from Coral Charm. Many sidebuds and a better stature, but of course a single flower and a totally different colour.

Ze verhandelen ongeveer 30 miljoen pioenen per jaar, terwijl de totale Nederlandse productie wordt geschat op een goede 100 miljoen stuks jaarlijks. Wie wat inzicht wil in hoe de handel daarvan verloopt, kan dit best…Read More
CNB, a dutch broker for plant growers, organises a peony show yearly. Due to the coronavirus unfortunately not this year. Instead they’ll be making some videos this year to give you an impression of the people that show those peonies. First is Harry van Dongen. The spoken language is of course dutch, but there are english subtitles (choose ‘…Read More

Interesting to see a picture of ‘Sable’. I’ve always wondered if it still existed. I obtained a plant of Pherson’s Sable x Eclipse from Don Hollingsworth some years ago, but it’s more of an oddity than anything else. It’s very very tall; much taller than other hybrids, with long and twisted awkward stems, and a red color that is not…Read More
