Bravura (1943) Shining light crimson. [Albiflora x lobata - the great race of „lobata hybrids“ This group contains many beautiful pink and red tones so long desired in the Chinese peonies; salmon, coral, rose and deep cherry pinks, to clear bright crimsons, with no hint of purple and never a bad color in all the hundreds that have bloomed. I think this is the most brilliant and e effective strain of herbaceous hybrids yet produced. . Their season is generally M. They set hardly any seed, but their F2's may be interesting. About a dozen reds, and almost thirty pinks have been introduced, many of them so similar to one another that I have now tried to sort them roughly into color groups. The pinks especially, fade off as the flower ages , into pale peach shades, so that a mature plant will have flowers of many differing tones, but all harmonious [..] are single except when otherwise noted. ]The Reds

Bravura (Saunders 1943) EM-M.  Single, with an extra row of petals; brilliant cardinal red with small bright yellow center; a medium-large, cupped flower.  Medium stature, prolific increase and vigorous growth make an excellent presentation in the flower border.  Presumed triploid, but has useable fertility.the reported seed parent of Paula Fay and Blaze.
