Welcome. In this issue of The Plantsman we learn how to graft tree peonies. We also hear about the Northumberland roots of yellow snowdrops, the new hybrids of Cypripedium, research into Abelia, how Erysimum are more than just wallflowers, new species of Epimedium, and compare recent variants of Lilium mackliniae to Kingdon Ward’s original discovery. See the contents list below and enjoy some of the free articles.
