Peony
Paeonia is a genus of largely herbaceous perennial flowers in the Paeoniaceae family, native to temperate and cold areas of the Northern Hemisphere; their territory ranges from southern Europe, through the Mediterranean, across Asia, and the far east of Russia. The genus consists of anywhere between 25 and 40 recognized species- of which 35 to 45 are still considered “wild”. Unfortunately, wild Peonies are far from actually being common; roughly half of them are microregionally found, and many of their statuses are considered threatened.
