Indiana State Flower: Peony

Indiana State Flower Coloring

The Peony is the State Flower of Indiana. Peonies are actually native to China and Japan but grow in the Western United States too. They are used extensively in medicine in China and were known for their healing properties in the Middle Ages in Europe as well. Renoir featured them in some of his paintings.

They are very large flowers that bloom in the late Spring and Summer and are available in a wide variety of colors: Red, Pink, Dark Pink, White, and Yellow.  Their scent is very nice! They are very hardy and the bush that they bloom on can live as long as 50 years!!!
