The 400 year-old peony, a family heirloom formerly owned by a farmer in Heze city, Shandong province was bought by the head of the peony park last November after a period of negotiation and several visits. According to heritage experts, the peony was growing in the Wanli Period (1573-1620) of the Ming Dynasty.[Photo by Laobingshijue]
