Very nice! Is there some Double Dancing Queen in the family tree?

More likely that 'Nymph' would be in the lineage of 'Dancing Queen' since it has been around for a good decade, maybe longer and DQ is relatively new on the scene!

Well, here's the descendant of 'Nymph'. My Dancing Queen just opened yesterday!

ALWAYS learning from Rebecca. I've had Dancing Queen for years and thought Nymph the newer of the 2...least it is for me :D

I got my 'Nymph' from one of the mail order catalogs a good 15 years ago. This was before I got into the Internet Habit or even had a computer! That bulb has long since gone, either it died or I gave it away because I lost the tag, who knows.

'Nymph' is a lovely cultivar and when it is happy the blooms are usually cupped giving the bloom the look of a Peony. It will be one I will eventually replace.

That will be an interesting collection, double flowered varieties and cybister hybrids (the spidery ones only!), and what few singles I have that are "different" or "unique" in some way. And, of course a few of my own seedlings.

Anyway, 'Nymph' is a BEAUTIFUL variety and well worth growing!
