The peony is a remarkable bloom. This year we appear to have a grand
showing.
An herbaceous perennial, once in and established it is a real show
stopper.
Ancient Chinese texts mention the peony was used for
flavouring food.
Confucius (551–479 BC) is quoted to have said:
"I eat nothing
without its sauce. I enjoy it very much, because of its flavour”.
Peonies are also a common subject in tattoos, often used
along with koi-fish.
