Parentage D-404 x J-31 (Gessekai) Generation-BC 2. First bloomed 1928, semi-double, pale pink hybrid tree peony with stamens and pollen. No seeds. Good substance, reliable, one bud per stem. Grows 4-5 feet, good stem strength, 10 to 20 blooms. Vigorous with light green foliage, blooms the end of May. We have been observing this plant for about 10-15 years. It is worthy of being introduced. The color is almost white with red overcast and red flares, in the center. Two rows of petals orderly arranged. One feels the mountain breeze and a warm feeling.
