I'm pretty certain that JCA 12971 is Camassia leichtlinii ssp. suksdorfii, not Camassia quamash. The subspecies of C. quamash that grows in Douglas County, Oregon, is ssp. intermedia, which has paler blue flowers that are markedly bilaterial rather than radially symmetrical. And, the Camassia from Douglas County that was posted in this thread on March 19th, 2017, is also Camassia leichtlinii ssp. suksdorfii. Both Camassias, along with another taxon that is endemic to Douglas County, C. leichtlinii ssp leichtliniii, are illustrated in my article on Camassia that appeared in The Rock Garden issue # 129.

From Antoine Hoog - Unnamed  Paeonia species from JJA 747.111, flowering two weeks ahead of P. mlokosewitschii. Red stems and dark green foliage.  ID?


P. tomentosa?

 "When I got the seeds from J&J in 2006 I noticed a few were considerably larger than the others. They turned out different. It could be a garden hybrid, if Jim grew on his collected plants for seed.
 It is very close to P. wittmanniana in leaf, flower and flowering time. Leaflets are faintly pubescent all over underneath. In P. wittmanniana leaflets underneath are tomentose just on the veins."
