Did you know the Peony is the most celebrated and loved flower in both west and the east and her story of dignity and grace has been cherished for thousands of years?
Legend dating back to the Tang Dynasty tells of the Empress Wu Zetian, who disappointed by the dull winter landscape, issued an imperial decree instructing, ‘all flowers in the royal garden bloom’.
The flower fairies panicked knowing that to not follow the course of nature would be harmful.
But no one dared to disobey Wu Zetian, known to be ruthless. The next day it snowed heavily, and as instructed the Imperial Garden was in full bloom. Delighted, the Empress walked through the garden admiring her own powers over nature. However, this was soon replaced by rage when she saw that the peony hadn’t bloomed. For their insolence and punishment, she banished them to the city of Luoyang.
That spring, against all odds the peonies bloomed beautifully.
When the Empress heard this news, she ordered that all peonies be burned. Although they struggled, come that next spring, peonies bloomed all across Luoyang to everyone’s surprise.
To this day, Luoyang is known as the City of Peonies. As they say, when life gets hard always follow the course of nature, ‘living in the Tao’ as the ancients called it.
This full-blown ruffled bloom is the colour of claret, port wine and a rich burgundy wine that is intoxicating beautiful.

Each botanical is hand-made with meticulous care. It can take ½ an hour to cut the pieces for each flower, another 12 hours to dye, paint, dry and steam the petals, then up to 2 hours to construct the various parts into a finished piece.
The realism is in our attention to details. Petals, Stigma, Stamen, Stems: These are the parts our designers spend the most time perfecting. It’s what makes Prestige Botanicals stand apart.
Fill in for that hard to get variety, seamlessly mix them in with real flowers, and reuse them for endless arrangements! Our flowers are built to last decades. They can be bent and twisted back into just about any position.
We are absolutely confident that we create the finest permanent botanicals in the world. If you can show us an equivalent artificial flower that is superior to the one you purchased from us - we’ll refund you for it
