From wiki
The peony, along with the plum blossom, are two traditional floral symbols of China. In 1903, the Qing Dynasty declared the peony as the national flower. Currently, the Republic of China on Taiwan designates the plum blossom as the national flower, while the People's Republic of China has no legally designated national flower. In 1994, the peony was proposed as the national flower after a nationwide poll, but the National People's Congress failed to ratify the selection. In 2003, another selection process has begun, but to date, no choice has been made.
The famous ancient Chinese city Luoyang has a reputation as a cultivation centre for the peonies. Throughout Chinese history, peonies in Luoyang are often said to be the finest in the country. Dozens of peony exhibitions and shows are also annually held there.
The Japanese name for the peony "Ebisugusuri" means "medicine from China". In traditional folk medicine, peony root was used as a treatment for menstrual cramps, asthma and convulsions.
The peony is also the State flower of Indiana. In 1957, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law to make the peony as the state flower of Indiana. It replaced the zinnia, which had been the state flower since 1931.
Peonies are also extensively grown as ornamental plants for their very large, often scented flowers. -

Here's Five Bats in Jade (The one on the right is a Jade Peach).Originally posted by soloken:Born with very good luck and prosperity, you are a learner and a successful person. Food and clothes will never be a problem to you. You are a lucky and prosperous man/woman. Hang a 5 red bats motif in your living room to enhance prosperity luck.
What is 5 red bats motif?? Can anyone explain?
''The Bat has long been known to be a sign of coming prosperity and wealth. It is said that if bats decide to stay in your home, you will become very very rich!
''The Peach, on the other hand, indicates a long life filled with happiness and contentment. Thus together they indicate a lavish life free of health problems. An unbeatable combination!
OK, the Peach is a side-track but there's your five bats thing. Not in red but I guess red is an auspicious colour so that's why it's suggested that you get a 5 RED bats motif. -
