Flower of the week: Peony

With Memorial Day marking the unofficial start of summer, I have been drawn to the beauty of all things flowers. That being said be on the look out for future flower posts.

Peonies have become my new found love. Although they are a more expensive flower, they are very lush and full and don't require many blooms to make a statement.

As the traditional floral symbol of China, the state flower of Indiana, and the 12th wedding anniversary flower, peonies are known as the flower of riches and honor. They are also regarded as an omen of good fortune and a happy marriage.
