I thought I'd give you a little sneak preview of another card from my new Chinoiserie range, which will soon be available to buy! I absolutely love peonies and they always seem to crop up on my paintings. In China they are a symbol of enduring love and prosperity and were also the Imperial flower after the 1st Empress of China decreed them so. In Imperial China, ladies would even have drinks made from the shavings of peony roots as they were believed to be a fertility medicine.
