The meaning of Peony



So for all of those who were wondering... this is a Peony flower.  Aren't they pretty?! 
Loads of people will already know this so for you I include these stunning paintings by my fab Mummy!!!
She does some botanical painting, and she painted these two for me.  They hang in my bedroom in big mirror frames and I love them. 
I hope you do too.
