This
morning, large deep pink blooms look so beautiful in the rain.
They
usually produce their display in late spring and early summer.
Peonies are
very popular wedding flowers.
Why? Because of its beauty and elegance,
surely!
According
to my mum, it symbolizes a happy marriage, good health and prosperity.
My mum
said: “I can still clearly recall our garden in London. We had beautiful peony
flowers, its delicate pearl-white petals elegantly veined with purple lines,
shimmering! 'Queen of the flowers' absolutely breath-taking!”
“They
attracted ants, didn’t they? Wonderfully scented, that why,” I said and went
on: “That was so easy to kill them for me, but I didn’t because I felt sorry
for them.”
“I know,”
she replied.
Peonies
make excellent cut flowers and you can create beautiful bouquets with a few
blossoms.
“Every
year, we gave a peony bouquet to our next-door neighbour, that Italian lady. Do
you remember, Pinot?”
“Of course,
I do! My favourite madam. I would intrude into her garden when I was young. And
she sometimes invited me to play hide-and-seek in her big house – stunning!”
We all love
the peonies in our garden!
