I love Peony & Roses. How about you, which type of flower you love ?\

The peony is significant both historically and mythologically, and thus is tied
to many different meanings and symbols. Common peony meanings include romance, prosperity, good fortune, a happy marriage, riches, honor, and compassion — but peonies can also mean bashfulness.\
\
There are two common myths about the peony. In one, the peony is believed to be named after Paeon, the Greek physician of the gods. According to the legend, Paeon was a student of Aesculapius, the god of medicine. When Paeon used a peony root to heal Pluto — the first time this was tried — Aesculapius became jealous of his talents and tried to kill him. To save Paeon (and show compassion to him), Pluto transformed him into a peony, because he knew it was a flower that people would admire and praise. Thus, one peony meaning is compassion.\

In the other myth, the peony is tied to a nymph named Paeonia. Paeonia is beautiful and attracts the attention of Apollo, who begins to flirt with her. When Paeonia realizes that Aphrodite is watching them, she becomes bashful and turns bright red. In anger, Aphrodite transforms the nymph into a red peony. This is how the peony came to symbolize bashfulness.\

牡丹在歷史和神話上都很重要,因此與許多不同的含義和符號聯繫在一起。常見的牡丹意義包括浪漫,繁榮,吉祥,幸福的婚姻,財富,榮譽和慈悲 - 但牡丹也可能意味著害羞。\
\
關於牡丹有兩個常見的神話。其中一個,牡丹被認為是以神的希臘醫生Paeon命名的。根據傳說,Paeon是醫學之神Aesculapius的學生。當Paeon使用牡丹根來治愈冥王星 - 這是第一次嘗試--Aesculapius嫉妒他的天賦並試圖殺死他。為了拯救Paeon(並向他展示同情心),冥王星將他變成了一朵牡丹,因為他知道這是一朵人們會欣賞和讚美的花朵。因此,一個牡丹的意思是同情。\
\
在另一個神話中,牡丹與一個名為Paeonia的若蟲相關聯。芍藥是美麗的,吸引了阿波羅的注意,阿波羅開始與她調情。當Paeonia意識到Aphrodite正在觀察他們時,她變得害羞並變成鮮紅色。在憤怒中,阿芙羅狄蒂將若蟲變成了一朵紅牡丹。這就是牡丹如何象徵害羞。\
