Nowadays, it has become a customary practice for men to express their love with red roses. However,in ancient China, there is a flower that has also been given the connotation of love, and that is the Paeonia lactiflora, commonly known as the peony.
In ancient times, coupleswould give peoniesto express their reluctance to part and longing for love.In addition to a letter of engagement, giving peonies asparting gifts also means to "tie the knot". This is a uniquely Chinese romance, which is why the peony is also known as the "Flower of Chinese Romance".
Paeonia lactiflora blooms in late spring, later than Paeonia suffruticosa. The two flower species are the same word - peony in English and other European languages. Although P. lactiflorais not as good as the "the King of Flowers" - Paeonia suffruticosa, it is also graceful and luxurious, so it is called "the Prime of Flowers".
