Probably from pollen with Blushing Princess. After discarding several seedlings from Flevo Star with dull single flower this seedling indicates that Flevo Star has (hopefully) doubleness in its genes. The foliage is nice and large which is the best feature of Flevo Star as well. https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/4402/ Thu, 21 May 2026 08:05:14 +0200

Before we eliminate them, we will first hang waterproof hang tags on each plant and trim off the leaves on top of the paper strips. This minimizes transpiration during transport and ensures nutrients to the roots. https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/3725/ Thu, 17 Oct 2024 08:41:09 +0200

I will check if this happens again, and then isolate the part of the root. Has this happened to any of you? https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/1337/ Wed, 29 Apr 2020 18:14:53 +0200
