Beautiful and lovely, so delicate and sweet. Simply love peonies!
Flowers play a large part in nature ( as the reproductive structure in flowering plants ), bees and birds alike frequent the fragrant beauties. Not only are they an integral part of nature, but they play a big part in human life. We grow them for our viewing pleasure, trim them to pretty-up our homes or give to loved ones. We use them at funerals to honor the people we've lost. They are also symbols in many different cultures and represent many different things. I've chosen the peony because they are so classically beautiful and remind me of my Aunt and Grandmother who had them growing in their yard. I actually hand carried a bunch on a plane from PA all the way to CA. ( Back when they still let you do that sort of thing! ) Memories of a simpler time I suppose.
