Hello dear Hive friends, first of all I would like to welcome you to my new post and hope you are well! Hopefully you could use your weekend wisely and enjoy one or the other great experience. In this post I would like to present you a wonderful splendor of nature, which I photographed yesterday afternoon and hope you like it!
Here you can see a Tree peony which is also scientifically called Paeonia suffruticosa. The genus Paeonia was described in 1753 by the historical cult figure Carl von Linné and the name is associated with Paian, who is considered the doctor of the gods in Greek mythology.
According to a legend, Paian used the power of this plant to heal the god Pluto after he was wounded in a battle with Hercules. Another story from Greek mythology reports that the Roman god Virbios died through a horse and was brought back to life by Artemis, the goddess of hunting with the help of a peony.
Back to Paian, who by the way, received much of his knowledge from Asclepius, a well-known healing god, used peonies to heal even more gods. For example, a legend shows that he also healed the wound of the god of war Ares with the help of the roots of peonies. I always find it interesting to go deeper into the topic of plants and to look at the mythology behind it!
Peonies are also often associated with magical powers and from a symbolic point of view there are different views in different cultures. In the Asian region, it is often used as a symbol of happiness and wealth and has often been associated with royality. It is also often seen as a symbol that expresses female beauty and is also often associated with love.
That it is a medicinal plant should have already become clear from its mythological legends. Also the well-known alchemist Paracelsus also appreciated the healing properties and the medical effect goes back to Paeoniflorin, which can be used medicinally in many ways. Attention: Peonies are poisonous, a property that more medicinal plants have in common and should only be used in the form of ready-made preparations. As always, no matter which medicine, you should always ask your trusted doctor or pharmacist about the correct use and possible side effects!
Many thanks for stopping by and watching! I used my camera Sony Alpha 6000 and Sony SEL-55210 Telephoto Zoom Lens (55-210mm) to take these pictures.-
