Admire the ancient peonies of the Ming Dynasty at the Twin Pagoda Temple in Taiyuan

Only the peony is the true national color, and it moves Jin Yang when it blooms. At the turn of spring and summer, more than 6,000 peonies of various colors represented by the Ming Dynasty peony 'Purple Cloud Fairy' enter the blooming period in the ancient temple of the Twin Pagoda Temple. The ancient branches are tall and straight, blooming in competition. Light pink, bright red, bright yellow, rose red, the petals are layered, the flowers are well-arranged, and under the background of the twin towers, it shows a bit of simplicity and moving. Who is the most beautiful among the peonies? 'Purple Cloud Fairy' in the Twin Pagoda Temple. In the square flower bed in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, several 'Purple Cloud Fairies' are blooming vigorously under the bright sunlight, and the large flower plates are proudly blooming. Purple is red, and red is purple, which is spectacular, as if the flower god in dress has fallen into the world. 'The Ming Dynasty peony 'Purple Cloud Fairy' was moved to Taiyuan in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of more than 400 years and is the oldest 'temple peony' in Taiyuan. It is also the only Ming Dynasty peony found so far. 'Purple Cloud Fairy' now has dozens of plants in the park, it has a long flowering period, and the flowers are as large as a plate, which is the best among peonies. Because the petals are light purple when they first open, and they are purple in the late stage, they are called 'Purple Cloud Fairy'. 'Wei Fang, the interpreter of the Twin Pagoda Museum in Taiyuan, introduced that in addition to the 'Purple Cloud Fairy', Yao Huang Peony, 'Er Qiao' Peony, Black Peony, and Bean Green Peony are also particularly gorgeous.
