Lush garden bloom
A peony is a flowering plant prized for its large, showy blooms that appear in late spring and early summer.
The flowers, which range from white to pink to deep red, are known for their lush, layered petals and sweet fragrance.
Peonies are popular in gardens and floral arrangements, particularly for weddings.
