Checking the progress of my harvested peony seeds. All seems to be going well. Several of them already have a long radicle (first root), whilst you can see in the image there’s at least one already starting the growth of the plumule (first shoot). That will clearly be one needing little cold… Not all are this far and not all are successful, but…Read More

It depends on the cross and some never start to grow but if you have several different crosses you should be about to see some results. I have just checked this morning again and several other ones which last week didn’t show anything, have also started to grow.
I have tried constant temperatures and natural temperatures. With constant…Read More
I just received some images of Matias Krieger’s seedlings and they were added to the page about him and his work. Have a look to see some nice ones for the future… Here’s already one of which I’m just a little bit jealous 😉

I am posting an image of Andreas Maschke (B3) flowering in my garden. Very nice plant, herbaceous in appearance, very similar to its pollen parent. The flowers have pollen and carpels.
I have used its pollen on so called fertile itohs to increase the tree peony characters and obtain fertile backcrosses. I tried it also on herbaceous hybrids like…Read More![]()

I do not want to cross these RIBC2 with herbaceous hybrids because it increases the…Read More

Hi, what a beautiful sight! How long does it take for the root to grow out of the seed?
