Known as 'the king of flowers' and the flower of 'wealth and honour', the peony (牡丹 mudan) was known in China since the 9th century BC at least, and known to have been grown in the gardens of the Imperial family since the Tang dynasty ( (618-907). One of the flowers of the four seasons, alongside lotus, chrysanthemum and prunus, peony was often exchanged as a gift to represent love and affection, and was an ever popular motif in porcelain decoration.
