Peony, Coral

The traditional floral symbol of China, peonies are known as the flower of riches and honor. With their lush, full, rounded bloom, peonies embody romance and prosperity and are regarded as an omen of good fortune and a happy marriage. They are typically biannual in the floral world, appearing in the spring as larger and often richer in color, and again in the fall as slightly smaller and often more pastel-colored blooms.
