#December 11, 1911
#OTD Victor #Lemoine, #French #Flower #Breeder, died.
The Lemoine #Nursery in #Nancy, #France survived 3 #Generations.
We owe a #Debt of #Gratitude to Victor for enhancing so many #Flowers in our #Gardens:
#Lilac, #MockOrange, #Phlox, #Peony, #Gladiola,
#TuberousBegonia, & #Deutzia.
His double-#Blossomed #Geranium was Gloire de Nancy. He #Bred a #Peony that could take a #Winter #Freeze & many #Gorgeous Peony #Creations.
