Imagine my delight this morning when I went into the yard to snip some flowers for Allie's room, and I saw this~~~!
Oh, I wish you could smell it!
The Chinese consider the tree peony to be the "king of flowers" and regard this showy flower as a symbol of good fortune, high honor, and the spring season.
What better way to greet our very own Queen of Flowers than with the King!
There's going to be a lot happening in the next week or so. I'll do my best to come back and tell you all about it!
I love peony I have them in white in my garden but aren't ready at the moment!
ReplyDeleteOur peonies are just beginning to grow; everything is slow this year. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat flower is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe lacey petals..
the full center...
WOW!
I see why they call it the King!
I'm sure Ally will be very honored!
I'll "say" the same thing to you that I said to Allie... Wheeeeee!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a stunning shot of your peony!
ReplyDeleteThis lovely Peony is a good omen for this visit!
ReplyDeleteMost people can grow peonies without trouble, and I used to. Wonder why I can't anymore? Oh, well, I love your photo!
