FLOWER OF THE MONTH - JULY 2009

PEONIES

The peony has been a treasued flower in Asia for centuries. And it is no wonder when you look at a peony's delicate tissue paper petals that form the nodding head blossom.

Peony blossoms come in four different shapes. A single shaped blossom has only a single layer of petals around the center. A semi-double has two, maybe three layers of petals around the center. A double has a crowed of petals so that the center is not visible.
