The peony
Peonies are the flower of abundance — they open wider than they look like they should, and they take up space without being loud. If you want a bouquet that reads generous, this is the one.
Add this flower to a bouquetWhat it means
- Abundance, good fortune, and a kind of lush contentment.
- In Chinese tradition the peony is the flower of prosperity and honour, which is why it turns up at weddings and new beginnings.
- Visually it is the fullest single bloom here, so it holds a bouquet on its own without needing company.
What to write with it
Peonies suit good news. If the message is congratulations, a promotion, a move, a baby, this is the stem that fits.
On its own, a peony is a complete bouquet. Add a rose if the message is romantic, a daisy if it is not.
