? Peony is a perennial woody plant of the Ranunculaceae family and a small perennial deciduous shrub.

The flowers are large and showy and come in many colors, among which yellow and green are the most valuable.

Peonies like alkaline soil and do not grow well in acidic soil.

Peonies are beautiful and fragrant and are the national flower of China. Among them, the peonies produced in Heze City, Shandong Province and Luoyang City, Henan Province are world-famous. The reason is that these two places have alkaline soil, which is suitable for the growth of peonies.

As the most traditional plant in China, peony is a symbol of good luck and wealth. Peony patterns are often used on newlyweds’ quilts and clothing, which contain beautiful meanings.

In addition to these, it is also a rare delicacy for foodies. It tastes great when fried or cooked into porridge.

It can also be used as medicine to treat many diseases.

Peony is a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Paeoniaceae.

After the leaves fall every autumn, the above-ground part dies, and new shoots sprout from the roots in the next spring. Its flowering period is around Labor Day every year, and the flowers are large and showy.

There is a lot of nectar in the flowers. When I was in high school, I often ate the nectar from the flowers. When I touched it on the tip of my tongue, I felt sweet and full of nectar. It was truly pure and natural.

Like peony, it is also a medicinal and edible flower. It is delicious to eat and used as medicine to treat diseases.

These two flowers are very similar in terms of flowering period and appearance, so many people initially mistake them for the same species.

In fact, the two are also easy to distinguish.

First of all, look at the stems. The stems of peonies will be lignified, like a small tree. This will be more obvious especially for peonies that are many years old.

Peony, on the other hand, has no lignification, only leaves. The stems die in autumn and sprout from the roots the next year.

In other words, the peonies we raise are like roses, they can grow up slowly and sprout from the branches the next spring, while the peonies are like lotus, their leaves dry up every year, and there will be another good flower the next year; secondly,

, look at the leaves.

The peony leaves are relatively small, and the front side looks a bit like there is some white mold on it, or it looks like it is dusted with flour.

Peony leaves are large, smooth and shiny, in other words, they are shiny; as for the flowering period of the two, generally speaking, peony is in April in the Gregorian calendar, while peony is in May in the Gregorian calendar.

But it is not always the case. Some varieties may be delayed or advanced. This feature can be regarded as a supplement to other properties and should not be too rigid.

In terms of flower size, peonies are about 20 centimeters in diameter, while peonies are smaller than peonies, about 15 centimeters.

After knowing these characteristics of peony and peony, it will not be difficult to distinguish them based on these characteristics when you encounter them again.
