Today, I’d like to recommend a
good book to you. The Gardener’S Peony Herbaceous And Tree Peonies. you guys
might notice that the texts I wrote these days were quoted from this book.
It was written by martin page, an excellent peony
breeder and expert. It was published by Timber Press, Inc. in 2005. There are
12 chapters, mainly talking about the history of peony, peony types, also some
peony breeders and so on. I have to say
it is truly a wonderful book. I learnt a lot from it. in china, we are quite
familiar with Chinese species and Japanese species, while not knowing ITOH
peonies. after reading this book, I know some original itoh hybrids, like “bartzella”,
“border charm”, “callie’s memory”……. Actually, I am more curious about these
flowers’ name. when I saw “first arrival”,
a romantic scenery came into my mind. The breeder of this type must be very
astonished the moment he saw a lavender-pink flower standing in front of him.
Some day in the future, I have to try some itoh
peonies.
