Paeonia lactiflora
Chinese Peony, scientifically known as Paeonia lactiflora, is a flowering plant native to China, which has been cultivated for thousands of years for its medicinal and skincare properties. The scientific name Paeonia lactiflora is derived from the Greek god, Paeon, known for his healing abilities and the Latin word "lactiflora," meaning milk-white flowers, which perfectly describes the beautiful blooms of the Chinese Peony plant.
