PEONY

#PIOENROOS 😍 Peony is a genus of plants in the family Paeoniaceae. The botanical name Paeonia dates back to ancient antiquity. Paieon was the god of healing in ancient Greece. A large number of species of this genus are grown as garden and ornamental plants. Peonies are also used as cut flowers.
There are herbaceous and shrubby peonies. The herbaceous species lose their leaves, and the stems need to be cut off in the autumn. Woods retain their woody trunk in winter.
Most species of the peony grow between 0.80 and 1 meter high and most species bloom in the months of May and June.
