#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: Roger Anderson’s peonies


It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. This week’s photo is borrowed from Roger Anderson, internationally-known peony breeder. It is from 1986 and shows the new yellow intersectional peony developed by Roger. This peony was an innovation in color and in form. Roger was born and raised in Whitewater and developed his innovative peonies in nearby Fort Atkinson.

Join us this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. at the Cravath Lakefront Center for the Historical Society’s Spring program, “Roger Anderson and his Peonies.”

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
