Seeds of wild Paeonia species?

[JPB]

Does anyone know where I can find seeds of wild collected or true-to-name "ex cult." species of Paeonia? Preferably from Europe or Asia Minor/Caucasus.

Thanks, Hans

What about Vojtech Holubec's seedlist ?


Oddly enough, a message re named  paeony cultivars just arrived - not what you are after Hans, but maybe of interest to others.
I have no experience of this company, I merely mention their contact here.

Maggi, I have ordered from the 2012 Holubec list but maybe his 2013 list has new ones. I do not if it is out yet? The same for the Vickery and the Pavelka lists

I checked the Chinese and it indeed looks like a good site for cultivar/hybrid lovers. But I have not found any botanical species.

Furthermore, I should have mentioned that Bjorn Malkmus-Hussein (www.rareplants.de) offers seeds of botanical species but I already grow many of them.

Check on Phedar Nursery later in the year;

Thanks Gail, but I do check Phedar regularily and I ordered some good seeds a few years ago when they had a much larger offer of species. At thr moment they offer only two species of unkown provenance...

Maybe Josef Halda would be a good source but I can't find a website of email of him.

[Maggi Young]

Previously we've had these details for Halda :
Josef Halda
PO BOX 110
501 01 Hradec Králové
Czech Republic

He has an e-mail address,  I think-
jjhalda@jjh.cz 

[Maggi Young]

Not all the Halda seed we've had of various things has been true, though. 

There are also  other Czechs you you try , like Pavelka , as you say - euroseeds@tiscali.cz

and Jurasek  - jurasekalpines@atlas.cz  http://zahradnictvi-svjan.cz/semenacz.html 

K.Vickery's seed list isn't out yet  I don't think.

My P. emodi plant came from a Chris Chadwell seed collection. He normally sells seed on a share basis but it may be worth emailing him to ask if you could have 'peony only' share of his next trip;

Thank you both! I will send some emails and see what happens...
