Most Beautiful

Peonies are aristocratic plants. In China, they have been an artistic symbol for centuries, they are called sho yo, or "most beautiful," meaning riches and honor.
Once a peony is established in a garden, it can live a long life...fifty, seventy or maybe a hundred years, so that your grandkids can enjoy the same beautiful flowers that you do!
I would love to wander through a field of peonies!

Those are one of my favorite flowers, I hope you plant some so I can come over and see them. You always have such a pretty garden.
