My last lilies in 2012
At my house in northern Sweden, I have tried to cultivate a variety of lilies.
The growing season is much shorter than in my home country of Denmark, the last snow melts usually in late April, the frost is in the ground well into May. And the first frost comes back, yes - about now.
Blooming Right now I have 2 lilies: A hybrid and a species.
Here are some pictures of Dunyazade:
In the back you can see "LeVern Friemann" that lily will not make it here this year |
Also flowering i have Lilium lancifolium.
L. lancifolium flowers nearly every year here. I got bulblets from the botanical garden in Copenhagen more than 25 years ago.

Treepeony? - I'm in doubt now
Do you know this peony?
It was bought 3 years ago as Paeonia suffruticosa subsp. rockii. So it was supposed to be a classic Rock's peony, it is now easy to see that so isnt the case.
Until now i thought that it was a shot from below the graft, and i looked forward to see what peony they had used for rootgrafting.
But now flowering, it seems to be a hybrid of some kind? Perhaps mislabled?
It was planted well below the surface, so i have waited 3 years to see it in bloom.
Below here on this picture you can see a real Rockii - it is the tiny peony with seedcapsules - the leaves are very different. The peony i hope you can identify is ofcource the big one above, it seems to be very healthy.
Do you recognize it?

Thanks for the response, there are no 100% match - but these are my candidates:
