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 Blushing Princess and Old Faithful and got a few seeds last year. I have pollinated B3 with other similar peonies like B2 and B1 but results are still to come. I have a couple of seedlings from Andreas Maschke open pollinated still very small. This plant and its siblings are very promising for breeding https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/4370/ Wed, 10 Jun 2026 15:51:57 +0200

]]> 2 da8cfb28843462c567fb816052a76be3 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 information about other seedlings from Flevo Star would be very welcome https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/4403/ Sat, 23 May 2026 20:52:09 +0200

]]> 2 d161434c60924ee58f5e284b6fc07772 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 https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/4379/ Wed, 13 May 2026 20:11:08 +0200

It has P. peregrina-like foliage and I very much like the color of the flower. Easy growing also. https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/4375/ Wed, 13 May 2026 06:21:24 +0200

]]> 0 bd7c359890210e2cfb25979fc6262462 A nice unregistered plant in bloom here. Still in the midst of 'species season', thus really early. This plant is the result of P. lactiflora President Lincoln x P. wittmanniana , a cross made by Roberto Gamoletti @roberto . P. wittmanniana is the species that contributes the earliness obviously.This is the third year after planting the division received. I very much like it, good height, sturdy upright stems, floriferous, well closed buds of good size, nice flower colour and flower size. The foliage is like others in this line of crossing (lacti x wittmann), I have Mai Fleuri for example, same foliage more or less, but Mai Fleuri flowers much later (though still early). There is a sister seedling also from Pres Lincoln x P. wittmann, but that one is also later blooming. So early in the season, this is a standout in my opinion. https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/4321/ Sat, 18 Apr 2026 07:32:16 +0200
