The Peonie bushes in my garden are filled with buds, ready to open.
Quite a few are already blooming in various gardens, and as you said, they are magical.
Today a number of medical researchers throughout the world are isolating compounds in peonies and evaluating their medical potential. The available research suggests that there are numerous useful compounds found in peonies and it is possible to project that in time researchers will be using compounds found in peony to create modern drugs to treat some of our more serious diseases.
Love,
