ETA please? I can't get past estimated time of arrival. Doesn't seem to fit somehow.

Took me a bit of working out, Lesley    I thought we could discount Basque organisations inthis instance and came up with this:

ETA =   Edited to Add

[Lesley Cox]

Oh. I can live with that though why not just modify and add? I expect I'll still think it as estimated.......

I know exactly what you mean ,cohan... in fact the point is made very neatly in a link that Gail has just given in the paeony pages...
http://www.bennisonpeonies.co.uk/index.htm

The title page of this website has a glorious photo of some mouthwatering Itoh hybrid paeonies which looks for all the world like an old painting.... just exquisite!

its true, it really does look like a scene for an old painting!
i'm in a group of western/northern canadian gardeners and they are often talking about itohs--having noted some of the prices they mention, i don't usually pay much further attention (as in, can't even afford to pay attention to those ..lol.. there are a few peonies growing here that my mother or aunt planted in the last couple of decades sometime, and those will do me nicely
btw, took a quick glance at that site--a few lovely species, too, i note the one i liked most is the most expensive...lol

Oops, sorry On some fora it's considered impolite not to give a reason for editing your post, so it's become a habit.

Can someone identify this cultivar growing in a friend's vegetable garden with radicchio?  She has to move them now and wants to replace them in the autumn.

John, it looks a bit like Rembrandt's Favorite, it's just the color on your picture which puzzles me a bit. To much red .
Maybe with another camera another color?

[johnw]

Luit - I think you're correct, the flower was more of a purplish shade.

Thanks

John, here is a picture from me and believe it's more true to the color.

Tulipa Rembrandt's Favorite

[johnw]

That's the one.  Thanks Luit.

Either way, it would look great with the red raddichio.

Yes, an imaginative planting combination.

[bulborum]

And red raddichio taste better as Tulipa Rembrandt's Favorite

Tulipa Rembrandt's Favorite

I was told today that the right name should be Tulipa 'Rems Favorite'
