White Peonies
Titania (Kelsey 1936). Very large, glistening white with yellow stamens. Semi-double. Some bloom full double. Mr. Kelsey states in his garden notes, "change name". Page 69 of the Peony Manual has listed a variety Titan, described as a "white, origin unknown". This may have been Mr. Kelsey's reason for a suggested change of name so no confusion would arise.
