Hi Auralie, Scratching my head on the yellow blooming plant… cannot get anything to stick in what passes for a brain. So many “almost” fits and it has been so many years we have known each other. Any chance you have a photo around someplace you could send me/ As to the peony seedling… feel free to name it and register it yourself if you like. It is a random seedling from my peonies around the western side of my garden. Why is yours so special? Photo?? Sorry I could not be of more assistance. Gene Gene E.

Gene, a number of years ago you sent me a plant recommended as deer- resistant. Over the years, and with much trial and error, I have developed a pretty deer-resistant garden, and this plant has been one of the main background fillers, but I don't remember, and can't find, the name of it. I thought I had one of your old catalogs, but can't find that either. I keep being asked what the plant is, and am embarrassed not to be able to identify it.
The plant is a perennial, about 18" to 2' tall. It has heart-shaped alternate leaves, about 2" across. a bit felted, and slightly greyish in color. In the spring it has small bright yellow flowers. It's not showy, but makes a very nice filler in the back of the bed. Can you tell me what it is?
And while I am asking this let me tell you that a peony that you sent me in those early years - I think you said it was your own development - has after a slow start begun to bloom most handsomely. For the past two springs it has been the real star of the garden. I should have told you this before now. If it was your development, did you ever register it and give it a name? I may never reach another spring flower show, but it would be nice to be able to exhibit this one, and it wouldn't be accepted without a name.
Thanks again,
Auralie
