American (patriotic) peony lovers should be aware that Veseys (https://www.veseys.com/ca/flow...) a Canadian mail order retailer, are selling in their 2023 Fall Bulb Catalogue peony Miss America (white, award winning, heirloom peony) BUT calling is Miss CANADA (pink, 2022 intro., no awards) Grumbling (where is the angry exploding head emoji? Rolling on the floor laughing ) I suspect frankrichards16 and Meiko2, amongst many others, might be rather upset to know that the Miss America in their garden is really Miss Canada D'Oh! And perhaps any Canadians who buy Veseys peony would be pretty angry to know that it is really Miss America Thumbs down
I'm sure many of us have seen a plant sold with a new name but expropriating the name of a much loved registered peony just to probably sell more plants in Canada is - - - offensive comes to mind. I for sure will be contacting Veseys [email protected] about this.
