One of my favorite flowers: peony. Peony comes in many different colors but the pale pink ones especially makes me think of lazy summertime and soft pastel colors. Peonies are perennial plants that come back for a few years, unlike other plant that dies once the season is over and can’t be reuse. Peonies are prized for their beauty, fragrance and even medicinal qualities. I’ve never tried it but the Chinese uses the roots from white peony to treat liver problems and relieve pain. I don’t see it often but brides do use peony as their bouquet or flower centerpiece and I think it looked absolutely beautiful.
