I think I'm getting somewhere I posted this also on another site & I found the guy I bought it from back in 2001 when it was imported.It was labelled occulata when I got it.He told me that it was occulata but there was a variety that didn't have the spots only perhaps in the column known as 'crocea'.It smells like vanilla.Mine smells to me more like a vanilla peony than straight vanilla.This is the best info I've gotten so far.What fun!
