Peonies, The Manual of the American Peony Society, edited by James Boyd © 1928 American Peony Society: [Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies]:
LA TULIPE. la-tu-leep'. (Calot, 1872.) 7.5.
Double type; large; early midseason. Outer petals very large and smooth; clear light flesh-pink, with creamy center frequently streaked with crimson like the tulip, Pride of Inglescombe. Tall, vigorous growth, with strong stems and good foliage.
Frequently the stripes are very prominent on the bud or partially open flower, but in some seasons they may be lacking. Rather scant petalage, but is too high-built to be called semi-double type. It has extraordinary finish and beauty in the guard petals, and is a very attractive flower. So well-known and liked, it is included in this list by vote of the Directors in spite of its low rating.

'La Tulipe' /Calot/1872
La Tulipe - this flesh pink midseason variety, looks quite attractive due to their interesting petals, looking like wild tulips or water lilies. I would like to recommend it as a landscape variety. Flowers look like hand made artificial flowers, on green base. Originator also Calot.
