Hi,

The Peony in Mandarin is called Mu Dan. It was called the Queen of Flowers.

In the " Book of Odes ", amorous youths and maidens give each other this flower.

In very ancient times the flower was called Shu Yao.

The Peony flower comes in various colours. But the most popular colour is red.

White peony flower signify the young. Young girls with qualities of wit and beauty.

In a folk song, it is said that when the peony blooms, its perfume smell spreads over a vast area and this attracts butterflies (which symbolises a young man.) While the peony flower represents the girl).

Overall, a peony in a picture represents the season Spring. If it is pictured together with the hibiscus it represents `bloom'. In other words, wealth and good reputaion.

If a peony is shown with wild apple (Hai Tang), it implies that a person will enjoy wealth and credit.

If a peony is shown with the peach it represents long life, wealth and reputation.

The peony is also symbolic of maidenhood. Many poets under the Tang Dynasty sang praises to it. In ancient China, the poney is almost synonymous with a flower in general.

In my opinion, I do not see any problem planting a peony tree even if one is married.

Perhaps, can you elaborate where you have heard or read of it.

Thanks

Cecil
