Lavender (Saunders 1931)Herbaceous Hybrid, Single, Lavender, 30"
A jewel extremely rare. It is a single soft lavender which fades to a pale lavender. Flower centre with golden stamens and dark lavender or burgundy carpels. Contrasting prettily with the lavender coloration for the petals. Stems are strong requiring no support.

Adding to the Collection

New additions for the season are Gratis, Lavender and P. veitchii purchased from La Pivoinerie D'Aoust in QC . She is one of the best suppliers in Canada. (In this bloggers opinion) I also managed to acquire a couple of peony roots from this year's
Root Sale Browns Red Jap, Going Bananas and The Fleece.

All have been appropriately placed and a couple may even give me blooms next year. Large divisions. (more than 5 eyes) I have had very good luck with the root sale divisions and hope to continue adding to my collection this way.
