Please remove this rather embarassing post. Sorry for your inconvenience.

Stig,

It is not an embarassing post. I kept waiting for someone who knew anything about this species to speak up. I dont think I have seen it ever offered in one of our sales and we try to have some species peonies at each sale.

No doubt it must be more rare than some of the other species peonies.

Thanks, Leon.

Well I got the name wrong (it should be Witmanniana), and it seems that macrophylla is a variety.

I am hoping to get hold of it from Eastern Europe next fall.

I see from a previous post that you are located in Western Norway, so my telling you where to obtain the peonies may not be useful to you.Both peonies are available at Pacific Rim Plant Nursery in British Columbia, Canada. They are listed as paeonia daurica ssp. whittmanniana and paeonia daurica ssp. macrophylla.They ship out of country but I am not sure how far out of country.They grow a nice selection of species peonies grown from seed. Good luck with your search
