Superb! Especially the second photo.
Are all the plants equally robust?

Even better - all will be fine additions to your garden as well as being such pretty flowers.

Your hybrids are quite gorgeous. Congratulations!
(Your success gives me hope for my own (still tiny) seedlings...)

Bought this Paeonia Hybrid Chojuraku 2 years ago from a
Bavarian Nursery and it flowered this year in May for the
first time.

Lovely! Quite as beautiful as the original 'Shimane chojuraku'
The coloring doesn't seem to be too different - but that is difficult to tell. Much depends on the light, I find.

Here is a Paeonia rockii hybrid given to me by Wolfgang Gießler, the wonderful peony nursery sadly completely flooded in early summer. Looks very much like one of yours, Thorkild. Brightens up these dark days...

Paeonia rockii.
I think it is best to sow seeds rather than buy grafted plants, plants from seed is stronger, I think. When I bought Paeonia seeds from Phedal has always been good.

I think you've hit the nail on the head re. grafted versus seed-raised. I grow P. delavayi, lutea, potaninii near the sea in the Shetland islands, all raised from seed, but struggle with P. rockii in sheltered positions - grafted plants.

Hello
I understand you well if you have been looking for the fine "Moutan rockii hybrids." My congregation is that the grafted plants frost cracks, and after a period of some years, they suddenly finished. I sow seeds because I will have plants on their own roots, it is my opinion. Thorkild

Could be something to the grafting being less hardy, but you would wonder why. I have many grafted Paeonia in the garden and they are all fine. Most likely they are on their own roots at this point. I have 3 Rockii hybrids, but these are divisions of plants originating from Lithuania.
