Hi,
It has been a variable year for Paeonia in our garden, with some, like P. mlokosewitschii, flowering sparsly, and others, like P. rockii, flowering profusely. Of the latter we have two plants right next to each other, a pink one which starts flowering a good two weeks earlier than the other, a white one.  I have included a picture of the white one, the last flower of which blew apart a week ago.

Peony season drawing to a close here but the delavayi-type obtained as Paeonia potaninii ex ACE 1047 from Pottertons is still going strong. I think I've posted this before but I really love it for it's late season and the fact that it is really attractive to bumble bees - found 4 jostling for space in one bloom; a veritable jumble of bumbles!

Gail, really nice  :).
Here my peonies have been now over for some time, we had unusually hot and dry June (it rained only once here, but in the west coast of Finland it has been raining too much), so everything went by too quickly.

hi,
the season is coming to an end. P. mloko seed is ripe, P. mascula too.
rockii needs a little more time.
Is this really normal that since individual Schware seeds are like?
It almost seems that only the black ones are really "full".

regards
Bernd

Several of my paeonies did not flower this year  - so no seed from them  :'(

Yes, Bernd, it is true that only the black seeds are fertile.

Paeonia growers may be interested in what Milan Sembol in the Czech Republic has available, see http://www.cypripediums.net/rostliny/pivonky-bylinne-i-drevite/

If anyone is interested I have some more details, including an English translation (Google) from Czech, send me an email. His prices are in Czech Koruna and the latest exchange rate I've seen is £1 = 32.7 Koruna
