'La Verne' peony Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

We do not have ANY photos of this Peony!

Notes:

In the early 20th Century, U.S. peony growers trying to import peonies from Kelway's were frequently sent mis-identified plants. When one peony grower imported 'Baroness Schroeder', this pink-flowered peony was the plant sent by Kelway's. There's no way to know if it was a Kelway origination.

The customer realized it wasn't the Baroness, so called it "Pink Baroness Schroeder", and since it was a good peony, there was some effort made to decide what it should be called. [see references] This peony was also called 'La Verne', and apparently was occasionally sold as 'Eugénie Verdier'. It's unclear where the name 'La Verne' came from, but it seems that this plant is still in commerce as 'Pink Baroness Schroeder'.
