This photo was taken at the William Brown Memorial Garden in Elora, Ontario, June 13, 2000. Walter Gilbert describes it as a hybrid but never formally registered it with the APS. Parentage unknown. It is named in honour of his wife. Wally befriended Billy Brown who persuaded him to take over Brown's Peony Gardens which Wally then operated as Gilbert's Peony Gardens until the late 1980's.
