Paeonia officinalis ssp microcarpa (also known as Paeonia humilis). Growing in Portugal/Spain and South-West France. Not a fast increaser here, only one stem, but it does show the characteristics of the species with rather narrow leaflets and indumentum on the stems and petioles.

You rarely see images of them at all, and then it happens that in the span of only two days several dozens appear. Here’s P. tomentosa again on instagram:

But for what it’s worth, here’s my opinion. They grow in a region with very little rainfall, especially in Summer. Your cold greenhouse is thus indeed…Read More
