peony season


Yes to Peony Season and my favourite spring flower.





Peony is the Chinese symbol for spring, and Feng Shui staple for wealth, distinction and romance (sounds like a diamond, doesn't it?), balancing the opposites and calming the mind.

Me, I just love the smell and soft ruffles.















Marco Polo described them as "roses, big as cabbages"...






...and apparently ants are needed for the buds to open properly!
