The peony, a flower often considered a classic alongside roses, is eagerly anticipated each year by admirers. Whether in their own gardens or visiting others, enthusiasts look forward to experiencing the heavenly array of scents and the visual delight of peony blooms.

Available in shades of pink, white, red, and bright yellow, peonies boast double blooms in multiple hues and seemingly delicate, silky petals. The season is described as exceptionally beautiful, evoking memories for many. Some associate peonies with bushes that droop under the weight of their flowers in a grandmother's garden, while others recall the scent of a peony bush beneath a window in a city apartment, tended by a neighbor. For some, peonies bring to mind a bouquet received from a loved one. Regardless of the personal connection, peonies are flowers with a story, and they rarely leave anyone indifferent.

The portal "Delfi" has compiled a list of 13 places in Latvia and one garden in Estonia where visitors can admire the beauty of these "summer divas" in June. Some locations host special garden festivals, while others simply offer the opportunity to visit and enjoy the splendor of the peonies.

In Pelฤi, Kuldฤซga municipality, the peony garden "Ziedoล†i" welcomes visitors from June 1st until the end of the blooming season. The garden is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Those planning a weekday visit are advised to book in advance by calling 28615836.
