PEONY – passion
the meanings that we easily find on the web about peony speak about prosperity
It’s true, for God’s sake ^_^
Peony is a flower full of petals that speak of abundance
lots of petals, lots of things
a lot of prosperity
lots of love cause peony is mainly pink or red and so it’s linked to romantic feelings
Lots of love, yes, of course,
but…….
but but but but but but but ^_^
these several petals are also very messy, jagged, large and small and without order and they steal each other’s place, one hides the other, they intertwine or bend and stand back to back
in short, “the course of true love never did run smooth” as Shakespeare said
peony speaks of abundance and prosperity, but it is also a flower that speaks of the truth of things, of how they are always messed up
it speaks of strong feelings
it speaks of a crackling passion
and not necessarily it needs to be used to talk about the love between man and woman (or between human beings) but it can also be the love we feel for drawing, for photography, for cooking…
an intense feeling, difficult to manage, and an abundant feeling so abundant that is difficult to manage ^_^

Also Mr. Rock (Joseph Rock) “the flower hunter” knew it well. Him, who had a thing for Peonies and that for Peonies visited the Chinese jungles and the whole world
to find them, discover them and support them and bring their unbridled beauty out of the jungles, within reach of the general public
under the eyes of the Emperors
to make the whole world fall in love with them
with love, but always irriverent
