New Plantsman, 2001 8:3 174 Awards of Merit	AWARDS OF MERIT Paeonia 'Claire de Lune', P.C. (Paeoniaceae) Exhibited on 2.1st May 2000 by WL. Banks, Hergest Croft Gardens, Kington, Herefordshire. HR5 3EG. Obtained from Kelways Ltd (Langport, Somerset), whose paeony displays at Chelsea Flower Show and elsewhere pre-dated, and inspired the present esteem in which the genus is held, 'Claire de Lune' is a single-flowered hybrid between the yellow, Caucasian Paeonia mlokosewitschii and the Sino-Soviet P. lactiflora, progenitor of many of the most popular cultivars. Presumably the latter was a white-flowered example in this case, for the flower, 13 cm in diameter when fully open and comprising ten or so obovate petals, is very pale creamy-yellow, albeit with a reddish flush on the reverse. The biternate, mid to dark green leaves, are divided into oblong-elliptic leaflets up to 11 cm long, and lack the glaucous sheen of 'Molly the Witch'. Like that species, however, specimens are slow to build up into a good clump, for all that they are of more robust growth, with stems up to 1 m tall. In some peonies the scent can be almost overpowering; that emitted by 'Claire de Lune'

	CLAIRE DE LUNE White / Wild & Son (USA), 1954 Hybride - Paeonia lactiflora ‘Monsieur Jules Elie’ x P. mlokosewitschii Een nog altijd zeer gezochte pioen. Enkele bloeiwijze met lichtgele bloembladeren en donkergele meeldraden. De goed zichtbare zaaddozen verzorgen een contrasterend effect door de roze-rood gerande zaadknoppen. Weinig zijknoppen. Prachtig donkergroen blad, rode stelen, een geringe hoogte en zeer groeikrachtig. Dit zeldzame kruisingsresultaat is één van de vroegst bloeiende cultivars van ons assortiment en bovendien een echt paradepaardje. CLAIRE DE LUNE White / Wild & Son (USA), 1954 Hybrid - Paeonia lactiflora ‘Monsieur Jules Elie’ x P. mlokosewitschii A very wanted item in the peony world. Single flowering with creamy yellow guard petals and a mass center of dark yellow stamens which pile up high when the flower matures. Outstanding hairy carpels with pink tips. Little sidebuds. Dark green leaflets, reddish stems, low planthabit and high vigour. This very choice variety is one of our earliest flowering peonies. 'Claire de Lune' becomes even more special when you consider the fact that it has been a very rare breeding result which is said to be the sole achievement from 4000 pollinations...
