Description
Peony In Morning Sun Along Lake Champlain
Found this great looking Peony taking in the early morning sunshine on the eastern shoreline of Lake Champlain in Vermont.
Peonies are the perpetual garden standard flowering plant. These plants are loved throughout the world for their early and profuse summer blossoms. Peonies are amazingly long lived plants, are very steadfast in growing and will bloom for at least a generation or more with very little attentiveness paid to them. A sophisticated, gentle flower that has a memorable fragrance.
The Peony is very significant both historically and mythologically, are native to China, and tied to many varying meanings and symbols. In China, Peonies are highly valued and often called the king of flowers. Until 1929 they were the national flower in China when they were replaced by the plum tree. The Peony symbolizes nobility, honor, wealth, romance, good fortune, happy marriage, riches, compassion and bashfulness.
