The Bewitching Flower Of Wealth

In China, one of the most enduring and well-known symbol of wealth and beauty is the peony flower. Back when this area was relatively young, the peony was usually planted in the gardens of the Imperial Palace and this flower was used to symbolize nobility and wealth. Aside from that, the peony is also the flower that embodies the vibrant season of spring.

For the Chinese, the peony is a well-known flower of designers and it is usually featured on jewelry and decor for the home, in order to give it a touch of elegance and class. When showing gifts, the peony is usually included as it conveys a wish for prosperity and good luck for the recipient. This flower is usually combined with others so as to give or embody a different wish. For example, the peony is combined with a lotus flower to embody purity, rank, success, and beauty. To wish for a long and prosperous life for a confidant, one gives a peony and a peach blossom. On the other hand, if one wishes for unity throughout the year, the Chinese usually give an arrangement of peony, plum blossom, chrysanthemum, and lotus. To secure such a gift means that you have a caring confidant or loved one.
