  • Posted by Vals_Garden (Ontario, Canada - Zone 4b) on May 14, 2024 10:00 AM concerning plant:
    The mascula peonies I am growing are from seed collected by Josef Halda in 2001, notes on which can be found on the internet. I make this comment because as you can see in my pictures, the foliage is a matte dusty rose to start, changing to brownish green and then to a matte bluish-green.
