    Moly the Witch is a plant of legend ,often seen in photos, less so in gardens; many have lusted over it although it is rare in the wild and even rarer in gardens. It is more than mere rarity that makes it so desirable. Mlokosewitschii is found only in the Lagodechi valley in the S.E. Caucasus growing on slopes in openings of the Hornbeam-Oak forest, Paeonia mlokosewitschii is coveted for the 12cm flowers which are a translucent light yellow like strayed water lilies of delicate saffron or citron, exquisite against the glaucous foliage. It's an ephemeral beauty that is sure to bewitch you, even though it is at its prime for about 4 hours in May. These are from Halda's wild seed collections ZONE 4
