The most popular botanical motif in China, the peony, is recognized as the flower of the emperor. It is known as the flower of wealth and honor and represents the season of spring. The chrysanthemum represents the season of autumn and is emblematic of a pleasant life, generosity and a good retirement from public life. The presence of butterflies conveys blessings of happiness.
