DARK BEAUTY... Peony.
FLOWERS MY GRANDMA LOVED: PEONY…
She especially love the more common ones from the garden, the dark red ones.
Again, memories very much connected with the fragrance!
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.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)
