MEANING
& SYMBOLISM OF
Peony
With a recorded history that dates back thousands of
years, it’s not surprising that even the mythology surrounding the
origin of the peony has multiple versions. One legend has it
that the peony is named after Paeon, a physician to the gods, who
received the flower on Mount Olympus from the mother of
Apollo. And another tells the story of that same physician
who was “saved” from the fate of dying as other mortals by being turned
into the flower we know today as the peony.
The traditional floral symbol of China, the state flower of Indiana,
and the 12th wedding anniversary flower, peonies are known as the
flower of riches and honor. With their lush, full, rounded
bloom, peonies embody romance and prosperity and are regarded as an
omen of good fortune and a happy marriage.
