| Popular as a filler flower in mixed bouquets or alone. Is a symbol for luxury and indulgence. Is a traditional floral symbol of China. Are grown as ornamental plants. Peony is the common name for approximately 33 species of flowers in the Paeonia genus, which belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. The flowers are native to Europe, Asia and North America, and are among the most popular garden flowers. The Japanese protect the earliest peony blooms from the snow by protecting them with individual small thatched shelters. The Chinese also idolised this flower. Peony motifs, particularly bright red ones, can be found on Chinese silks and in their exuberant woodcarvings.Colours Peonies range in colour from pure white through baby pinks and palest peaches to clear deep pink and darkest rich maroon. There is also a pale yellow but it can be quite rare. |
