From Roy Herold:
Paeonia seeds:
All are of the Paeonia japonica/obovata/obovata alba persuasion, with white
or very light pink flowers. Please, no arguments as to which is the valid
name these days. I keep the name under which I received it, right or wrong!
Plant seeds NOW, in the ground. They will germinate this fall and emerge
next spring.
10. Paeonia obovata alba -- the pick of the litter, originally from the
garden of Bob and Joan Means. The leaves (roundish, matte finish) and stems
emerge with a medium red color, a fantastic oontrast to the white flowers.
11. Paeonia japonica -- white flowers, pointy green leaves.
12. Paeonia obovata -- white flowers, shiny, roundish green leaves, short.
13. Paeonia obovata -- smaller white flowers, emerges three weeks later than
any of the others, and is taller. Different.
14. Seed of Calydorea coelestina -- 'Bartram's Ixia', amazing 3" blue
flowers on
thin wiry stems.
Only a few of each cyclamen. You may get a little sand mixed in, used to
keep the seeds from sticking together.
15. Cyclamen libanoticum -- apple blossom pink, the most beautiful flower of
any cyclamen, IMHO.
16. Cyclamen balearicum
17. Cyclamen hederifolium -- pure silver leaf, possibly from the 'Nettleton
Silver' strain
Thank you, Lynn, Stephen, and Roy !!
Best wishes,
Dell
