White flowering P. mascula subsp. bodurii and and unknown red flowering other peony growing side by side. I have not seen the red one in flower, but my guide has showed me these two plants. The red flowering has reddish leaves, but the form and the plant habit is the same, as the white flowering type.

Surprising was to find, that this plant grows together with the normal red form of P. mascula. I found plants with normal leaves and others with reddish leaves, and my guide showed me, that the plant with the reddish leaves flowers red. Josef Halda observed besides the typical P. mascula in the Canakkale region also P. mascula ssp. bodurii in the near of Pamukkale together with P. peregrina.
