Russian Women and Men Flower Lovers Get Chance to See Peony Exhibit

There will be an exhibition devoted completely to peonies that runs from June 19th to the 20th at the Timityazey Biological Museum. Its part of the Moscow Florists Club’s “Flowers of our gardens” series. Russian women and men who enjoy flowers and horticulture will not want to miss this.

Not only can flower growers and admirers come in and see a stunning array of up to 250 peonies in shades of red, yellow, pink and white but there will also be experts from the club on hand to give advice on subjects ranging from how to tend the plants to how to plant them and which ones are the best to buy.

The best time to plant the bushes is in the Autumn or Spring, but there won’t be any flowers on sale for planting this spring. According to the museum, the peony came to Russia from China while Peter the Great was ruling Russia. It is also used for culinary and medicinal purposes.
