Ilse was the beloved mother of Irmtraud. She was an enthusiasitc gardener and taught Irmtraud how much joy and happiness can be had when one occupies oneself with plants. When we imported Gansu Mudan peonies from Peace Peony Nursery of Lanzhou, Gansu Province of China in 1997, Ilse asked to get a white and a red blooming peony for her garden. We gave her the plant labelled 'Zi Die Ying Feng', a red one, and it grew very vigorously for her. As it set seeds, we sowed them and received a very beautifull burgundy red flowered seedling, which we will name in memory of my beloved mother. It was choosen for its beauty, vigour and health. – Irmtraud Rieck.
