Excerpt:  From early summer on, when all of the trees are fully leafed out, we'll shift our attention to the grasslands and open areas. Common species to be found here at that time are: daisy fleabane, meadow sage, field scabious, common chicory, betony, danewort, agrimony, meadow salsify, hedge woundwort, stiff hedgenettle, forking larkspur, wild carrot and large-flowered hemp-nettle.

PEONIES GROW WILD IN SOUTHERN HUNGARY

I read that the peonies that grow wild in Southern Hungary (and some other countries with similar regional weather) are red, but when I looked for images of them, there were so many red flowers posted!  This image that is probably Russian reminds me of the one peony plant we had in our garden. I love peonies more than roses, for they have no thorns and the perfume hasn't been bred out of them for commercial purposes.

If you have any genuine red Hungarian peony photos you'd like to share, let me know!
