China is the birthplace of peony in the world, and it is also the peony kingdom in the world. Peony cultivation originated in Heluo and has a history of 1600 years.

Bai Juyi's poem "Flowers bloom and fall for 20 days, and the city is crazy" and Liu Yuxi's poem "Only peony is the true national color, and the capital moves when it blooms" are vivid portrayal of peony's flower viewing custom. At the end of Qing Dynasty, peony was once regarded as the national flower of China.

Maintenance skills:

Peony likes light, and the temperature is preferably around 20 degrees. It likes temperature but has poor cold resistance, so it has to be moved indoors for maintenance in winter. The soil needs good air permeability, strong drainage ability, drought resistance, weak alkali resistance and no water accumulation.

Story:

On a snowy day in the middle of winter, when Wu Zetian was playing in Chang 'an backyard, she ordered all the flowers to open at the same time to help her sober up. The next day: "swim to the garden tomorrow morning and report the spring early." Flowers must be released overnight, don't wait for the breeze. " As we all know, all kinds of flowers bloom not only in different seasons, but also at different times. Violets bloom in spring, roses in summer, chrysanthemums in late autumn and plum blossoms in severe winter; Roses and peonies bloom in the morning, cordate telosma and epiphyllum bloom at night.

So it is difficult to make flowers obey people's will and open at the same time. However, all the flowers are out of date, but the peony is still dry and deciduous, standing proudly. Wuhou was furious and banished the peony to Luoyang. As soon as the peony arrived in Luoyang, it immediately raised its head in full bloom, colorful and brilliant.

This made Wuhou even more angry and ordered the peony to be burned to death. Unexpectedly, when the peony was burned by the fire, it became more red and spectacular, showing its fearless and indomitable character.
