Jewel is certainly a product that Alaskans can be proud of, and now they may have yet another reason to celebrate-they're about to have their first international agricultural export, and like Jewel, this export is also beautiful. Peonies, according to a five-year study conducted by researchers at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks (UAF), just might be that important export first for the state.

Jewel is certainly a product that Alaskans can be proud of, and now they may have yet another reason to celebrate-they're about to have their first international agricultural export, and like Jewel, this export is also beautiful. Peonies, according to a five-year study conducted by researchers at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks (UAF), just might be that important export first for the state. Peonies have long been in use as an ornamental flower. Though they are a national emblem of China where they do grow naturally, they are also native to western North America, including Alaska. In fact, peonies bloom in Alaska at a time of the year when they don't bloom elsewhere-the summer. The best growing species on Alaskan soil is the popular pink "Sarah Bernhardt" species. When UAF researchers took peony blooms to flower markets in San Francisco and Los Angeles, they sold every sample they had. The purpose of the research was to give local Alaskan growers information about peonies and their position in the marketplace. According to Janice Hanscom, a lab technician involved in the research, about 10 farms around the state have begun to put in peonies in varying amounts and at various times. Hansom said, "This is still very experimental for us. The next step in our research is to figure out the marketing end of it. We re sure it will involve air transportation, but we already have planes flying fish around the world from Alaska, so that may not be as big an issue for our state as we think." Hanscom is so certain that Alaskan peonies will be such a great success that she's planning to retire from her current career to operate a peony farm. In fact, she planted her first crop of 2,500 plants that should be ready for harvest in three or four years. So, we're likely to see advertisements for Alaskan peonies sometime in the near future. Considering how lovely the large and often fragrant blooms are, it certainly seems conceivable that they will indeed be a lucrative export for the state. Perhaps we'll also see Jewel adapt this gorgeous Alaskan flower as her symbol one day. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
