Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies
Kukeni Jishi. (Origin unknown.) 9.5 (1 vote).*
Japanese type; large; early midseason. The delicate flesh-pink guard petals are large, smooth, and evenly rounded, of unusual substance, and have a satin sheen and pale rose shading on outside. The center is a full tuft of yellow staminodes with narrow tips roughly edged with richer yellow. The carpels are green with prominent white kernels at the base, and pale yellow tips. Fairly fragrant. Strong grower. The flowers are held stiffly erect. Characteristic ruffled foliage.
One of the handsomest Japs observed and one of the most distinct. Mr. Little says that this new variety will undoubtedly stand at the head of the list of the pink Japs, and rank with Tamate-boku. He considers it one of the most beautiful.
