Hans,

Glorious rockiis.  Just glorious. I love the P.rockii ssp. linyanshanii in particular, but the others are nearly as beautiful (and I just love the name 'Bing Shan Xue Lian' for some reason, even not knowing what it means).  Congratulations on growing them all so well.

And thanks to others who are sharing their Paeonia pics as well..... all so nice.  8)

Paul ,

So far I know mean 'Bing Shan Xue Lian' :

'Snow who comes from the mountains'

This is a very good cultivar ( also from Will Mclewin) -with a real good form of the brunches -I never cut any thing ( exept dry parts in sping after the frost )

I grow some more P.rockii .....one is a plant grown from seed orginal ex F.C.Stern ( F1 )...it is flowering for me also the first time  ;D

I agree - what is your secret solution for beautiful snail-free baby tree peonies?

Hans,

I have a big favour to ask of you!  No, no seed at this point, but, could you explain in words and pictures the, to me, subtle differences that seperate the various tree paeonia species and sub-species.  I realize this is a possibly big task, but any reference points would help me (and others) to understand what to be looking for.  Such as by P. ostii.  I had thought it was always white, possibly with a tinge of rose, but you are showing specimens with astonishing colours.

Jamie ,

as you say ....it is a big work ....and I have not so much time in moment .

P. ostii is easy to recognize :
look on the leaves
they have a different growing form ( wächst sparrig -ich weiß nicht das englische Wort )
they are more sensible for frost like P. rockii
section  : Vaginate

I enclose two pics from last year ....you will see this plant grows higher and higher ....but makes no new branches on the upper side ....I fear to prune ....
The seedlings have the same behavior ....

One reason for this variation is maybe that 'Fen Dan Bai ' is a cultivar .....and I dont know what they made earlier ....

Robin :

there is really no secret !
I have never seen a a snail on a peony .....this plants have more or less no animals who makes trouble ...
sometime in spring I see on closed buds a hole ...I dont know which animal this makes

We have to realize that peonies are very old plants -they have survivid millions of years ....they grow in all kind of climates ( Europe ,Asia and two species in North America )
They are similar old like ferns !
....they survive in hot areas ( California )and in really cold ( p.e. P. anaomal grows in Finland )- from near 50 m altitude until 2000 m ....
From one of the oldest peonies in China is reportet that this plant is more than 600 years !

Thank you for your interesting reply, Hans, and now I come to think about it I never saw snails on peonies I grew in the UK although ants were a perennial problem - just as the buds were opening they covered them and seemed to be attracted by the stickiness of the new bud.  The peony border that I loved was already at least 30 years old when I inherited it and we were in the house for another 20 years of enjoying them each year.  :)
