From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The peony or paeony (Paeonia) is the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, southern Europe and western North America.
Most are herbaceous perennial plants 0.5–1.5 metres tall, but some are woody shrubs up to 1.5–3 metres tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. In the past, the peonies were often classified in the family Ranunculaceae, alongside Hellebores and Anemones.
The peony is named after Paeon or Paean, a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower
The peony is among the longest-used flowers in ornamental culture and is one of the smallest living creature national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where it is called 牡丹 (mǔ dān). It is also known as 富贵花 (fuguihua) "flower of riches and honour", and is used symbolically in Chinese art.[2] In 1903, the Qing Dynasty declared the peony as the national flower. Currently, the Republic of China on Taiwan designates the plum blossom as the national flower, while the People's Republic of China has no legally designated national flower. In 1994, the peony was proposed as the national flower after a nationwide poll, but the National People's Congress failed to ratify the selection. In 2003, another selection process has begun, but to date, no choice has been made.
The famous ancient Chinese city Luoyang has a reputation as a cultivation centre for the peonies. Throughout Chinese history, peonies in Luoyang are often said to be the finest in the country. Dozens of peony exhibitions and shows are still held there annually.
In Japan, Paeonia lactiflora used to be called ebisugusuri ("foreign medicine"). In kampo (the Japanese adaptation of Chinese medicine), its root was used as a treatment for convulsions. It is also cultivated as a garden plant. In Japan Paeonia suffruticosa is called the "The King of flowers" and Paeonia lactiflora is called the "prime minister of flowers".
Pronunciation of 牡丹 (peony) in Japan is "botan". Before the Meiji period, meat taken from quadrupeds was seldom consumed in Japan due to Buddhism. Thus in cases where such meat was handled, it was paraphrased using the names of flowers. The term botan was used (and is still used) to paraphrase wild boar meat. This comes from the flowery resemblance of the sliced meat when spread over a dish. Another example is sakura (cherry blossoms) which stands for horsemeat.
In 1957, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law to make the peony the state flower of Indiana, a title which it holds to this day. It replaced the zinnia, which had been the state flower since 1931.
Mischievous nymphs were said to hide in the petals of the Peony thus causing this magnificent flower to be given the meaning of Shame or Bashfulness in the Language of Flowers. It was named after Pæon, a physician to the gods, who obtained the plant on Mount Olympus from the mother of Apollo. Once planted the Peony likes to be left alone and punishes those who try to move it by not flowering again for several years. Once established, however, it produces splendid blooms each year for decades (Taken from The Language of Flowers, edited by Sheila Pickles, 1990).
Peonies are also extensively grown as ornamental plants for their very large, often scented flowers.
Peonies tend to attract ants to the flower buds. This is due to the nectar that forms on the outside of the flower buds.
Peonies are a common subject in tattoos, often used along with koi-fish.
"Mischievous Thoughts"
Settings: 50mm and 1/3200 at f/1.8 (ISO 400)
Featuring: Jen Gewin (MM #2834134)
This is the first close up that I'm posting from my photo shoot with Jen Gewin in St. Louis' Forest Park. I like how you don't quite know what she's thinking, but it's almost definitely going to cause trouble.
Post processing work is fairly straight forward to keep the natural feel of the piece. My challenge came in the white/color balance and giving the right amount of warmth versus causing her skin to look too yellow. Finally landed on a balance when I slightly lowered saturation while increasing vibrance to keep the image from looking dull. A medium vignette was added (a bit stronger than I normally use) to fully force visual attention to her face in the center of the image.

My cat Hermione tore up the inside of my couch (at least it still looks good on the outside!) and in this photo she is underneath & inside of it.
I was actually working on a self-portrait when I heard ripping noises under my couch and then placed my flash on the floor and snapped a few shots.

My other Greyhound, Lacy, occasionally likes to bury her dog crackers outside in the yard. She thinks no one is watching, but May is always surreptitiously watching from a distance to see where she buried it. She doesn't go get it right away but waits for a bit later when Lacy has forgotten about it. Once May finds it she comes prancing back into the house with the dirty cracker in her mouth flaunting it in front of Lacy, who almost seems to sigh with resignation with this silly behavior in May.
After that story this pic with May appearing at the back door looking like this would have been better if she had one of the found crackers in her mouth, but I love it, and it makes me laugh, because it captures this certain innocence in her expression..how completely unaware she is that the evidence of her rooting around in the wet dirt for hidden dog crackers is all over her face :)
This pic was taken a year ago this past Sept.
During the October half-term, eight massive, mischievous monsters will be descending on Coventry and taking over rooftops in the city centre.
The monsters were designed by artists, Filthy Luker and Pedro Estrellas, and form part of a public art trail in the city to mark the Halloween period and encourage residents to rediscover their Coventry.
If you're an 90's kid like me, If you have seen the 1989 Don Bluth animated film, All Dogs Go to Heaven, You will seen the 1996 animated film sequel from Metro Goldwyn Mayer.
