Hello,
Finally, in my garden that is large peony blossoms, whose petals evoke the delicate fabric ruffled tutus dancing, offer spring unforgettable moments of grace. Regarded by the Chinese as the queen of flowers, the peony could dethrone the rose in the heart of some gardeners, thanks to its delicate flavor and generous flowering. In clumps or bunches, the season lasts only a few peonies weeks. More reason to enjoy ...
Botanists distinguish two types of peonies: herbaceous peonies, such as peonies from China, which has about 35 species and thousands hybrids, and tree peonies (mine), whose trunk wood can reach nearly 2 meters tall. Of the family Ranunculaceae, peonies (Paeonia ) are subtly scented and come in pink, red, purple or white.
In Greece, the peony was considered a medicinal plant in ancient times. Hippocrates prescribed seed for women to bring their rules, while Theophrastus recommended to pick this magical plant at night to avoid being put out the eyes by a woodpecker! In China, the peony has been cultivated since the seventh century. It symbolizes feminine beauty, love, honor and wealth.
Peonies like full sun and rich soil and acidic. They need space and can not bear to be grown in pots or trays. They like well drained soils: Avoid mulching, which conserves soil moisture, and feel free to regularly hoeing the earth around them. It may take several years before a plant could flourish, but after flowering is more generous each year.
You know that the language of peonies is modesty and sincerity
soon
