About the Artwork

Peonies are native to China, and much of peony’s flower meaning comes from Chinese and Japanese culture and history. For a long time, only Chinese emperors had peonies, so they became associated with wealth. Also called “the king of flowers”, peonies are used in important celebrations like Chinese New Year. In Japan, peonies represent honor, good fortune, and courage.
Give peonies to signify esteem, or to wish good fortune and success in a new job or business. A peony in the garden symbolizes good luck and good health in China and Japan, where its medicinal properties have historically been celebrated.
