Peonies are among the most magnificent flowers, often used in special bouquets, festive table arrangements, and home decor. June is their blooming time, and in Latvia, it is not to be missed.
In ancient Greece, the peony ('pion') was considered a symbol of longevity. Its name derives from the Greek word 'paionios,' meaning healing — in antiquity, the root was believed to drive away evil spirits, while the flower could heal the soul or a broken heart.
In Latvia, the peony revival began only at the end of the 20th century. Today, growers' collections include over 1,000 different varieties, and active selection is ongoing. Peonies are popular in wedding and graduation bouquets, as well as in early summer Instagram photos.
To not miss this beauty, we offer a guide to peony exhibitions, gardens, and fields across Latvia.
