What does PEONY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A garden plant grown for its large, often fragrant flowers with layered petals, blooming in shades of white, pink, or deep red in late spring and early summer.
A peony can live and bloom in the same garden bed for decades once established, since the plant resents being moved and often takes a year or two to flower well again after transplanting. Some varieties grow as a soft-stemmed perennial that dies back each winter, while tree peony types keep woody stems above ground year-round. The flower has long been prized in Chinese gardens and art, where the peony traditionally symbolizes honor, wealth, and prosperity.
