The Peony Society posted in the group Species Peonies International Network (SPIN)
A first post in this new group about peony species. As I’ve used it as the cover image for this group it’s only fitting to start with this species: Paeonia velebitensis. Wild collected in Croatia, the Velebit Mountains, East of the city/village of Karlobag, which is the area from where the dried herbarium specimens originated that Hong De-Yuan used to describe this species.

Beautiful colouring and venation. Sometimes I think Nature sits down and enjoys some painting, every once so often.
