While tulips and daffodils tend to get a lot of the glory when it comes to spring flowers, the peony is sometimes overlooked. However, with its large, full blossoms, an abundance of delicate petals, and a beautiful fragrant scent, the peony just might be the perfect spring flower.
No matter what your color preference, the peony flower can accommodate; it comes in just about every color you can imagine, from white and off-white to soft, light pastels and darker colors: the deepest shades of pink, orange, yellow and red are all available. Whether you’re decorating your home for spring, planning a wedding or looking for an impactful spring gift idea for a friend or loved one, peonies bring the scent and beauty of the spring season wherever they are.

A Healing History
Peonies have a rich and fascinating history as well, with some records indicating that they were bred and cultivated in China more than 4,000 years ago. They’ve been revered and valued throughout history in many cultures for their healing properties, too. While their fragrant flower petals were not used directly for healing, extracts from the peony’s seeds and roots were used to treat a variety of ailments, from stomach issues to neurological problems.
Today, peonies bring an uplifting, healing energy to home decor, wedding receptions and gift bouquets for any occasion. They look beautiful in peonies-only arrangements, but they also blend well with just about any other flower type, especially spring blooms. The Opulence bouquet is a prime example of this, as it is overflowing with peonies as well as tulips, stargazer lilies, hydrangea, roses, and more.
