LATE SPRING... PEONIES.
Although when budding the petals look waxy... they are silky soft. The more they open the more silky they become.
Also the paler the petals get...
As you know, I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen!
"READY TO BLOOM and regale you with my beauty"?
The Peony is indigenous to China, but was imported to Japan so early it is difficult to be certain when the transplantation occurred. It is a perennial plant with single flowers of white, red or pink which are born in late spring.
The peony was originally introduced as medicine. In fact, its ancient Japanese name "Ebisugusuri" literally means 'medicine from China'.
However, due to its beautiful and now mostly double blooms, in time, many decorative varieties were developed.
In Japanese society, it was seen both as a medicine and a source of beauty.
