All apologies


I got called out for calling peonia brownii an ugly duckling.... so here I am apologizing for that.



Just for reference here is another herbaceous peony that I got from Jane...I think this may have been a Halda collection.... I think it starts with an M......anyone?

Highs in the 80's next week.

Cheers,

Mark

    It's so cute. Not as showy as its Eurasian relatives. Would be fun to cross with them.

    I think you can be forgiven your remark about P. brownie: albeit the foliage is swan-ish! The pink peony could be P. mascula?
