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 have tried B3 pollen on several itohs such as Watermelon Wine, Belle Tolousaine, Sonoma Rosy Future, Gordon Simonsen but no seeds yet. This year I have tried also the same pollen on Golden Experience. Results if any will be visible in a couple of months. I do not want to cross these RIBC2 with herbaceous hybrids because it increases the…Read More

@roberto I forgot to answer your question about my results hybridizing with this, sorry. Now that I see this post again I suddenly remember…

(Old Faithful x Grand Massive)001 x B3: 2 small ones

Short? At my place it reached upto 100cm. Great plant, seedlings were disappointing. Single flowers with common and ugly colours.

Not very tall here, but these are second year plants, so they may still increase in height. The colour is rather common, but for some reason it attracts a huge number of bees (which I like), whilst other blooming peonies around it are neglected by them.
I planted a portion of Flevo Star this early spring and it took well and made a couple of main buds. My interest is the foliage so I have crossed it with Sparkling Windflower. The other flower and the laterals were left to open pollination. I would be interested in knowîng about fertility of Flevo Star both as pod and pollen parent. Any…Read More

Flevo Star has some fertility. Maybe some effort is needed but I have raised some 20-30 seedlings until yet. I never have used the pollen for hybridisation.

For nice and beautiful foliage I would recommend to cross it with Salmon Dream.
Sparkling Windflower has a nodding flower, bad colour and louzy habitus.
Fairfield x Little Dorritt is a very vigorous and fast increasing peony. The stems do not require support. The flowers are single, two rows of petals, with abundant stamens but there is no scattering of pollen. The color of petals keeps well.
I am posting a close up image of the flower![]()

liked thisA beautiful plant which I received from @roberto (Roberto Gamoletti) three years ago. An unnamed selection from the cross Fairfield x Little Dorrit. It has P. peregrina-like foliage and I very much like the color of the flower. Easy growing also.

@roberto Have you obtained any seedlings from the cross Itohs x B3?
