Introduction to peony:
Peony is native to the northwest of China, and it is wild in Qinling and northern Shaanxi mountainous areas. China has a long history of cultivation and has become an ornamental plant in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Tang was planted in Chang 'an, and Song called Luoyang the first peony in the world, so peony was also called Luoyang Flower. Qunfangpu recorded more than 80 species of peony/kloc-0, with a history of 1500 years.
Peony is the king of flowers, and it is known as "national beauty and fragrance". It blooms in April-May every year, and the flowers are colorful and wonderful, including red, yellow, white, pink, purple, ink, green and blue.
These flowers are multi-petalled, elegant and fragrant. Chinese people regard it as a symbol of wealth, and call it "rich flower" and "hundred taels of gold".
As early as Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, peony cultivation and appreciation were extremely prosperous. Bai Juyi said in a poem: "bloom spent 20 days and the city was crazy." . At present, except Luoyang, the peony of Zhao Commune in Heze, Shandong Province is the most abundant. When peony blooms in April and May, it is colorful and fragrant, attracting gardeners from all over the world and countless international tourists.
