Peony

Peonies are a precious flower, known as the "King of Flowers." They have long been considered a symbol of wealth, good fortune, happiness, and prosperity. Since ancient times, they have been revered as "the most beautiful of all." The white peony symbolizes purity, elegance, grace, beauty, and trustworthiness. The purple peony symbolizes embarrassment. Red flowers symbolize life, expectation, and a touch of love. Green flowers symbolize wealth and fulfillment. The broad red flower, known as the king of flowers, symbolizes wealth and perfection. Dark peony symbolizes love until death.

Many poets have left behind beloved verses about peonies, such as Liu Yuxi's "Appreciating Peonies" from the Tang Dynasty:
"The peonies in the courtyard are enchanting and without distinction; the lotus in the pond is pure and sentimental.
Only the peony is the true national beauty; its blooming season moves the capital."
