I could really get into these. I found this lovely meleagris behind one of my hellebores. There is a tremendous variety in the markings on these. I have a lovely white form called Aphrodite - is that what this white one of yours is?

No mine is from a mixed bag of ten from B&Q (this is a DIY store) and I have been buying a few each year to get them growing amongst the hellebores.They do really well in my heavy wet soil.

Tony - I started off with a few of these and they have seeded all over the place very successfully. I have given loads away!

elwesii is much easier to keep alive. The hihgest risc is always any infection and the far east plants like F. ussuriensis are not familarised to the middle Europe fungi and other micro organisms.
The Fr. elwesii is from southwest Turkey and that is much closer to Europe.
I always have problems with american Paeonia, it seems to be the same reason.

Very nice Berthold, I only have a few plants in bud at the moment. Fritillaria are a great problem for me. I have a disease that comes each year causing the stems to die and so i get few flowers and smaller bulbs until they disapear..I am treating them with a fungicide to try and cure it

Tony I had the same problems in pots and in the garden. Meanwhile I take a 100 % organic subtrate, peat free based on coconut fibers and bark mulch. It is a standard potting soil called "Neodohum Pflanzerde mit Mikroorganismen" in Germany and there are no longer any infection problems. I do the same thing with all my ground orchids with a very good result also.
