Hey there, flower lovers! 🌸 Have you ever heard of a peony that’s over 400 years old? 😮 Well, in the Baihua Garden in Heze City, also known as the peony capital of the Chinese mainland, there’s a special flower that’s just that old!
This incredible peony is called the “Queen of Peonies“, and let me tell you, she’s a beauty! 👑 Standing at a whopping 2.6 meters tall (that’s about as tall as a giraffe’s neck! 🦒) and spreading 4 meters wide, she’s the biggest peony you’re likely to ever see.
Planted way back in the Ming Dynasty (which was from 1368 to 1644), this peony has been around since before your great-great-great-great-grandparents were born! 🕰️ Imagine all the history she’s seen!
Believe it or not, someone once said this amazing plant is worth 6 million yuan—that’s around $820,000! 💰 That’s like buying 82,000 ice cream cones! 🍦
The Queen of Peonies isn’t just a flower; she’s a living piece of history and a symbol of timeless beauty. If you ever get the chance to visit Heze City, make sure to stop by and say hello to this royal blossom! 🌺
