Peony Cariad, received from @leena Leena Liljestrand. A short double yellow, the main attraction ibeing the very greenish buds.
A 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.
One of Hans Maschke’s masterpieces now in bloom here: Andreas Maschke (from Bartzella x Lemon Chiffon, thus an intersectional backcross!). As it grows older, the flowers tend to become much larger and more double. Really impressive I think…
Early hybrids are blooming (Vanilla Schnapps, Ballerina, Pink Vanguard, Grand Massive…). Still too early for Red Charm. Pictures show a field of previously selected and propagated seedlings that eventually weren’t good enough. Six years old, so fully mature. Still a pretty sight I think.

I do like the oval buds and the foliage as well.
