Me too! I love them. Peonies are considered the flower of royalty in Japan. 🇯🇵 Just so you know, it’s an incredibly elegant flower not to be taken lightly. With my husband I had a collection of them and a collection of Japanese Peony trees. They are expensive. I had almost 50 different species and I was propagating them. They were gorgeous. It looks like you may have a Chinese Alexandra Duff peony. They’re Chinese and Japanese peonies. They’re gorgeous, my favorite most elegant flower. 🤍💐🥰
