I had seen peonies many times, but I had not recognized them as peonies. For the first time in my life, I looked at these flowers, being clearly aware that these gorgeous flowers were peonies... I also learned the following things about peonies:
- Their colors range from white, yellow, pink, orange, red and purple to their mixture.
- High noon, a type of yellow peonies, is so fragrant, sweet and lemon scented.
- Some peonies bloom twice a year, i.e., one in spring and again in winter.
Almost all peonies were in full bloom when I went to the park this week. If you are now in Tokyo, you should definitely visit there!
The Peony Garden is within the Ueno Park, which is 2-minute walk from Ueno station on JR line, Tokyo Metro Ginza Line and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, and 1-minute walk from Keiseiueno station on Keisei Line.
If you like flowers, read my another blog about colorful and beautiful fuchsias I enjoyed at Kyoto Botanical Garden last April!!
上野のぼたん苑に行きました。芝木好子氏のエッセイに書いてあったので何気なく行ったのですがほぼ満開。本当にきれいでした。黄冠(黄色の牡丹)の香しさにもびっくり!こんなにも花を堪能したのは、去年の京都府立植物園のフクシア以来のこと。お時間あれば是非行ってみてください!
