paeony

The little stone lantern I bought the day of the paeony flowers, is also green, with a faint haze of centuries over it!

What mortal man shall decide between the white Crane and the Swan, or between the paeony flower and the lotus?

Speaking generally, the flowers of the French section resemble the chrysanthemum, and those of the German the paeony.

Paeony-flowered dahlias, a new but not pretty race, with large floppy heads, broad florets and several disk florets in centre.

But now bitter winter comes, snow is on the paeony hill, the hosts of evil are abroad.
