DIANA
PARKS
Bockstoce (USA), 1942
Hybride –
Paeonia officinalis x P. lactiflora
Volledig gevuld,
bomvormig en een fenomenale kleur. Echt rood – deze cultivar
is een eersteklas eye-catcher. Geen zijknoppen. Gedurende de
uitbloei lijken de bloemen wel een pakketje; de ring buitenste
ronde bloembladeren blijft lang strak tegen het zeer gevulde
centrum staan. Niet voor niets wordt deze cultivar liefkozend wel
‘de zachte Red Charm’ genoemd. Een mooiere vergelijking
kan een cultivar niet krijgen! Bovendien geuren de bloemen van
deze cultivar overheerlijk, en dit is voor rode variëteiten
vrij zeldzaam..
DIANA
PARKS
Bockstoce (USA), 1942
Hybrid–
Paeonia officinalis x P. lactiflora
Full double,
bomb-shaped flowers of a fenomenal bright red color. Displaying
true red 'Diana Parks' is a first class eye-catcher. When the
flowers mature they resemble a 'package' for a long time; the
guard petals remain tightly packed to the center of lacinated
petals. This center is pushed up in the maturing process and the
guard petals 'loose their guard' resulting in huge and stunning
bomb-shaped flowers. No sidebuds. Delicously scented flowers are
seldom seen amongst true red peony cultivars, but 'Diana Parks'
has it all! A soft and elegant sister of 'Red Charm' is one of the
many nicknames with which this variety is flattered with. And
justfully being compared to 'Red Charm' is a rare occurance..
