SINGING IN THE RAIN (Smith, Newton 2002)
Flowers semi-double, pleasantly fragrant. Newly opened flowers appear to be light orange, heavily flushed with pink, some petals have dark pink streaks. Mature flowers salmon to deep yellow. Combination of the two color stages gives the plant a very pretty two-tone effect (click on the photo to see them). Very floriferous, 3-4 buds per stem, 50 flowers in one plant! Flowers are virtually unaffected by heavy rain, thus the name. Plant height 120 cm. Very beautiful, only rarely offered peony, always in high demand. Limited amount of plants.
SONOMA AMETHYST (Tolomeo 2001)
The flowers are large, semi-double, and bowl-shaped, with a rich, light purple (lilac) hue and wavy petals. It blooms slightly later than the 'First Arrival' peony and produces a large number of side buds, which significantly extends the flowering period. The bushes are compact and low-growing, reaching approximately 60 cm in height.
