Curiosities about Peonies: journey from distant Asian lands
Peonies, with their extraordinary beauty and enveloping scent, are flowers loved for centuries all over the world. Native to Asia and an integral part of Chinese culture since ancient times, peonies have also been cultivated and appreciated in Europe, where they have won the hearts of nobles and gardeners with their timeless elegance.
There are different varieties of peonies, each characterized by a particular shape and color of the flowers. Among the most common we find herbaceous peonies, which produce single or double flowers and grow from tuberous roots. Tree peonies, on the other hand, stand out for their shrubby shape and greater height, producing flowers of impressive and spectacular dimensions.
Peonies bloom mainly in spring and early summer, giving gardens and fields an explosion of color and fragrance. They are also very popular flowers for their durability, as their buds can last for several days after being cut.
In addition to their stunning aesthetic beauty, peonies are also a symbol of wealth, happiness and prosperity in many cultures, representing love, luck and longevity. For this reason, they are often chosen as a decorative flower for weddings, anniversaries and other special occasions.
Picnics and aperitifs tailored for Spring
Cecilia Cefis, co-founder of Tulipania, described the emotions she experienced when arriving at the new peony bloom: “Many seasons have passed in which we bent over them, smiling as we saw them sprout, hoping after having introduced improvements, worrying when we struggled to understand certain behaviors and, amazed and enthusiastic, we were filled with pride and joy as we saw them bloom more beautifully every year. A journey that is now finished and we are ready to share the fruit with all visitors“.
Regarding the culinary offer during the aperitifs which will be possible to taste directly on the flower field, Cecilia Cefis said: “For the Peony Festival, we have decided to revisit our aperitifs by offering proposals as young and colorful as spring itself. For the picnic, however, we will offer local and 0 km products, such as our honey, winner of the first prize ‘Mieli di Lombardia’, accompanied by cured meats and cheeses from local farms.”
Summer events: flowers, music and fun under the stars
In the meantime, Tulipania doesn’t stop here and is already looking towards summer events, where flowers will continue to be the protagonists. Among the upcoming blooms, those of the majestic sunflowers will stand out in July, giving visitors an unforgettable experience among the golden fields.
But that’s not all: Tulipania is preparing a series of events and special evenings that will make the summer even more magical. From concerts and live shows to DJ set sessions, from themed evenings to aperitifs under the stars, there is much to expect and experience in the evocative setting of the Tulipania gardens.
