The Fairy Peony and the Peony FairyThe Zixia Fairy Peony was a perennially fallen leaf shrub plant of the peony family of the Ranunculus family. It had the reputation of a " hundred-year-old peony ". It was an ancient peony flower, but no specific connection was found between it and the Peony Fairy.
The Peony Fairy was a flower fairy who managed the peony flowers under the jurisdiction of the Flower Fairy. In some legends, there were descriptions of the origins of the Peony Fairy. For example, on Wu Zetian's birthday, she ordered a hundred flowers to bloom. The peony fairy followed the concept of the timing of the flower blooming and did not let the peony bloom before receiving the instructions of the Hundred Flower Fairy, which angered Wu Zetian and caused the peony to be punished. There were also folk stories about Liu Xiu and the girl who saved him admiring peonies in the temple. However, these stories mainly revolved around the role of the peony fairy in the peony-related events, and did not clearly indicate the origin of the peony fairy.

Peony in front of the Peony Court"Peony Demon in Front of the Court" came from Liu Yuxi's "Appreciating Peonies" in the Tang Dynasty. From the literal meaning, it meant that although the peony in front of the court was enchanting and gorgeous, it lacked bone structure.
From the perspective of the background and meaning of poetry creation, Liu Yuxi's life was upright and generous, and his official career was bumpy. In the more than 20 years of his relegation, the mountains and rivers on the border nourished his heroic feelings, but also gave him cold eyes and profundity. In his eyes, although peony had ornamental value, it lacked a kind of "bone" compared to peony. The " bone grid " here could be understood as a symbol of spiritual level. Peony symbolized wealth and honor. Peony was a herbaceous plant. After the flowers bloomed, only the roots in the soil were left. Peony stood upright in the wind no matter what, even if the branches were rugged. Peony seemed a little weak in comparison.
From the way the poem was expressed, it was a method of contrast. The poet first commented on the peony, then used the "Peony Demon without Style" to set off the high standard and the beauty of the peony, thus achieving the purpose of praising the peony.

Peony, Liu Hun, and PeonyLiu Hun's poem Peony described and evaluated the peony from a unique perspective, which could be read in contrast with the cultural significance of the peony itself.
Peony itself was a symbol of wealth in the Tang Dynasty and was highly respected. At that time, from the nobles to the common people, they all showed great love for peonies. For example, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei admired peonies and even attracted Li Bai to write poems. Moreover, the planting of peonies in the Tang Dynasty gradually spread all over Chang 'an City from only the dignitaries, which reflected the flourishing scene of peonies at that time and the status of peonies in people's hearts. At the same time, peonies had extremely high commercial value. For example, watching peonies in some places required taxes, and precious varieties were expensive.
In Liu Hun's poem "Peony","Recently, I have no choice but to buy peonies. I have to buy one for tens of thousands of dollars", which shows the high price of peonies, reflecting the phenomenon of spending money like dirt to buy peonies at that time. " It's only now that we can see clearly, but there are also many hollyhocks." He compared peony with ordinary hollyhocks, comparing things with things, and ridiculed the rich idlers who spent thousands of dollars to buy flowers and the abnormal phenomenon of flowers at that time. Liu Hun's poem expressed his condemnation of the luxury and extravagance of the bureaucrats and aristocrats, as well as his worries about the sufferings of the people. This was in contrast to the general view of the public that peonies were a symbol of wealth and were worth buying at a high price.
Through such a comparison, one could have a deeper understanding of the many aspects of peony in Tang society. It represented wealth and was loved, but it also caused social problems due to excessive pursuit.

It was native to Mexico and lived mostly in the Chihuawa Desert and its fringe areas.

In order to protect the black peony's genetic resources, the Mexican government listed it in the "Special Protection" category of the National List of Endangered Species, prohibiting illegal over-collection. This made it a relatively rare peony species.
Black peonies were 3 - 8 cm tall and 5 - 7 cm wide. They were in the shape of a lotus and were usually solitary. They never grew out of the ground when they were wild.

Which is better, the Nine Immortal Peony or the Canopy Peony?The Nine Immortals Peony was a hybrid of the Spring Sword Great Riches and the Spring Orchid Yu Butterfly. It was one of the four great flowers of the Spring Orchid. It had many petals and tongues. The flower shape was strange. The flower bloomed like a peony. The color was green. The outer three petals were short and round. The roots were closed and the corners were open. The edges were tight and simple. It was a combination of tree shape, multi-petal, multi-platform, lotus and other forms. It was elegant and beautiful. The flower was large and had a faint fragrance. The color was lake green and had high ornamental value. The flowering period was from December to March of the next year. It was relatively easy for the flower to grow from bud to flower. It had a good ability to adapt to the environment and could basically bloom every year.
Canopy Peony was a traditional Chunlan species. Its stem was about 15 centimeters tall, and its four petals were like golden lotuses under the night light. The inner petals were red spots, and its tongue was inlaid with a U-shaped red. Two rabbit ears with red U-spots stood up, and the fragrance of flowers assaulted people. As a non-hybrid native flower, it bloomed toward the sky. It had the sense of wealth of a peony and interpreted the tenacious spirit of "working hard and never giving up". When it was on the verge of bud extinction, the two-arrow flower would abandon a short arrow and fully supply the high arrow to bloom. It showed the intention to give and take and the pursuit of perfection.
Both of them had their own unique aspects, and it was difficult to simply judge which was better. For beginners, the Nine Immortal Peony was fragrant, cold-resistant, and easy to raise.
