Recently had to rescue a lot of plants from a garden in Hockliffe as
owners don't want responsibility of an ex owner's (very keen gardener)
plants. Many obviously grown from seed from Khazakstan and Russia Turkey
and New Zealand.
We couldn't read some plant labels (They had taken some of the geraniums
with them as they once held a national collection)
Anyway I have this one label of a plant we dug up which looks like Paeony
Ancluvita. Anyone have a stab at an id of this for us please?
On the reverse of the label is JH1745 Kazakstan

Possible misreadings of abchasica, arietina, lactiflora or obovata?

JH ? Could that be Joseph Hooker? Did he ever get to Kazakhstan?
Just thinking aloud.
