The
latest catalog has just arrived from Jungs, and while I've mostly
bought peonies from growers (and I doubt Jung grows its own stuff)
I find myself fascinated with their two pages of offerings.
Has
anyone grown "Dancing Butterflies"? It looks like it
would make a nice contrast with my other plants, and is about the
size I'm looking for. Would you disrecommend it? How about Jungs?
Thanks,Ginda

'Dancing Butterflies' seems to be a mass-propagated dutch renamed introduction, I found it in a catalog of Ahrens & Sieberz too, a mail order company here in Germany, which normally lists only 3 peonies (The Red, The White & The Rose coloured), but this year they have DB as low growing stiff stemned rich blooming new this year at ? 11,60 for 2 plants. Darwinplants in Holland lists DB too, whithout giving an originator. I guess Ahrens & Sieberz has the plants from the same supplier as your in the US, maybe Darwinplants.
I would not be surprised if this would be another renamed chinese variety, which was imported directly from China, propagated in Holland for 1-2 years and is now put onto the market everywhere. Carsten

Dear All; Did a quick search and came up with these sites. Includes offers in US, and Europe. The only one who claims to be a wholesale source is Darwin Plants (Holland). From the descriptions I wonder what color it really is?? Need I add, it is not a registered name.
Best Jim W.
