Today is the day of the 72nd phenomenon (※), “Peony Blossom” (ぼたんはなさく).
It is the time when peony flowers start to bloom. Peonies, with their sweet, refined scent and their dignified appearance, are also the representative flower of China and have many other names that praise them such as “Wealthy Grass”, “King of Flowers”, “Flower King”, “Flower God”.
The term “Heavenly Fragrance and National Beauty”, which signifies an inconceivable beauty and fragrance, is also another name for peonies.
It may not be a well-known fact among Japanese people, but peonies are cultivated all over the world and can be seen in various regions.
