"This groups association with Jim Archibald is well known.
Jim collected seed of Paeonia wendelboi around 1999 from The Taylish Mountains, Iran, ref 19.199.
He grew this plant, however, passed away before it flowered. Jenny Archibald gave me this plant in 2004, still unflowered.
I have nutured this plant for many years and in 2023 managed to take this Paeonia in flower to the AGS East Anglia Show.
It won the Farrer Medal, but more importantly in my mind, was awarded an RHS Award of Merit and Cultural Commendation.
Now around 24yrs old, this is a flower from this year."

At RHS Wisley on 29th June 2024, David Haslegrove presented Melvyn Jope with the Archibald Award . Melvyn wrote on Facebook :
" A rewarding day for me at RHS Wisley today. Presented with the Jim Archibald Award, Jim was a friend from over forty years ago and a strong influence for me in all things botanical.
I have added two photos here of plants that l grew from seed he collected and which l still grow in our garden.
Rosa glauca which l think came from a collection in France and Acanthus dioscoridis var perringii from Turkey"
