The Chinese call peonies the king of the flowers, or flower fairy. Peonies were named in honor of Paeon, the physician of the gods. I enjoyed reading up on the background of this flower variety, and I hope you enjoy also.

Brilliant post, Sandy! Your image is beautiful, I love your focus on the stamens and very glad you included the information about the peony. I didn't know!

Thanks so much, Linda! I thought the bits of green helped to balance the flower - thanks for noticing and commenting:))

I had to look this flower up online, because I didn't know what it was
