(-5)...Fleurs de soie ! "Silver Dawn en mélange" est en fait un ensemble de plusieurs pivoines de la même origine. Toutes des sœurs jumelles ou presque. La seule chose qui les différencie est la couleur pastel de la fleur qui peut être crème presque jaune, abricot ou encore rose pâle. Pour le reste, elles sont identiques. Ce sont des pivoines aux fleurs simples, à floraison très hâtive. La forme de la fleur est très jolie. Les pétales sont joliment froissés, un peu translucides et donnent l'impression du papier de soie. Elles peuvent atteindre 90 cm de hauteur. Ce sont des pivoines très fertiles, parents et grands-parents de plusieurs magnifiques hybrides nouvellement sur le marché comme Dawn Glow ou Dearest. Pour ceux qui aiment les surprises, car vous ne découvrirez qu'au printemps 2004 la couleur de la vôtre. Mais comme elles fleurissent très tôt en saison, vous n'aurez pas trop longtemps à attendre !

(-5)...Silky flowers ! ¬Silver Dawn mix¬ is a group of peonies with the same origin but with different pastel colors. All twin sisters. Except for their colours, they are all identical. All have pretty simple flowers in the pastel shades of creamy-yellow, abricot or light pink. Crumpled translucent flowers giving the impression of silk paper. All very early bloomers. Height of 90 cm. These peonies are very fertile, parents or grand-parents of many new hybrids on the market as Dawn Glow or Dearest. If you like to be surprised, that is a peony for you because you will not know the colour until next spring. But, as they are very early bloomers, you will not wait very long!
