Province Gansu, near Lanzhou, OK Peony nursery

Operated by Cheng Xinyun, the younger brother of Prof. Cheng (a picture of the owner will follow later, there are no digital images, only slides). Started in 2003, he propagates mostly Paeonia rockii-hybrids, grafted on seedlings of Paeonia veitchii. Impressing the large number of different forms of Paeonia veitchii, I found a semidouble form among them - but also many Gansu mudan.
