Thank you David !

I know Mr. Hong De Yuan has written this book but I have it not seen .


here is interesting point:
I can not grow ( for longer time ) P.anomala in my garden - it seems my climate is not good for this species .
I had several plant of P.anomala - partly grown from seeds ( they have flowered here ) but after few years they dies ....I had also plants from Finland from a friends ....they like also not my conditions.
Also I had no luck with P.sinijangensis
From P.veitschii ( + P.beresowskii ) I have since some years plants- they grow without problems

The Belle is back... Paeonia 'Buckeye Belle'.  The buds just started to open today... about an hour later the had opened lots more. They should be fully expanded in another day.  Among the most deep black-red of peonies.

Hans,
P. broteroi has a wonderful blossom!  I particularly like the darker shadings in the centre.

Correct assumption - one of the classics, a real good long lasting garden plant.

If anyone is Lincolnshire way and wants to see peonies I can recommend Jo Bennison's nursery at East Firsby.  She has a lovely collection of plants, beautifully grown, including a number of the new Itoh hybrids, and has open days 29/31st May, 5/6th & 12/13 June.  See http://www.bennisonpeonies.co.uk/index.htm

That link is great, Gail... what a nice website and what super paeonies. The photo on the home page looks like an old master painting.... really gorgeous.... and I'm not a "doubles" person, as a rule but paeonies are , somehow, different!  8)

The lutea hybrids are starting to open.  Here is the classic 'Souvenir de Maxime Cornu', with one of its drooping flowers.
