Can anyone tell me names of flowers thats associated with orients?
The peony was an Imperial floral motif. The Emperor Yang (605-617 AD), restricted peony cultivation to imperial gardens and allocated different flower colors to favored officials according to rank. Peonies were cultivated in their thousands in the Imperial gardens of China and Japan with the tree peony called the ‘King of Flowers’. The peony is still China’s national flower. http://www.rizreyes.com/Danjingshan_Peon… http://www.newsfinder.org/site/more/tree… The Chrysanthemum became the emblem of Japan’s Royal Family and the crest of of the Emperor of Japan is a stylized flower with 16 petals representing the variety called “Ichimonjiginu.” This is why “Chrysanthemum Throne” is the common name given to the Imperial throne of Japan. http:
