I checked the Hidden Springs Flower Farms site for species peonies, in my case the tenuifolia double red flora plena, and saw they would not be listed until April or until they were checked and counted. I sent them an e-mail requesting to be put on a reservation list in case the nursery would have some for sale. I received a reply within probably 3 hours tonight acknowledging my request and am now "on the list".
That is really going out of their way to accomodate a customer. I have ordered twice from them before and had excellent service. They have a relatively large selection of species peonies so anyone wanting some should give their on-line catalog a look.
I think Mr. Buchite is or was the President of the American Peony Society so he should know his peonies.
