Does the peony have a fragrance? A complete explanation of the relationship between the color and fragrance of peony.

Does the peony have a fragrance?The peony has enjoyed the reputation of "national color and celestial fragrance" since ancient times, but do you really understand the mystery of this "celestial fragrance"? What kind of fragrance do peonies of different colors emit? Let's embark on a journey of exploration through the千年-old fragrance of flowers.The scientific code of peony fragrance formationModern biological research has found that terpenoids and phenylethanol in peony petals are the main aromatic components. Interestingly, the content of these substances fluctuates with the color of the petals, forming a unique "color-fragrance correspondence law."Red and white peonies - the charm of simplicityVarieties such as "Yao Huang" (white) and "Luoyang Hong" (red) have thinner petal cell walls, causing volatile substances to diffuse slowly, creating a faint fragrance similar to that of jasmine. This subtle fragrance is most noticeable in the early morning, and it tends to converge when the sun is strong at noon.Purple and yellow peonies - the mystery of fragranceYellow varieties represented by "Hai Huang" have anthocyanins and carotenoids that accelerate the volatilization of fragrance, creating a sweet fragrance similar to honey. Purple varieties such as "Zi Ban Peony" contain special aromatic alcohols, and their fragrance can last for more than 12 hours, even creating a "fragrance deposit" phenomenon in enclosed spaces.Three elements of peony fragrance care1. Light control: 4-6 hours of scattered light per day can promote the synthesis of aromatic substances.2. Water management: The fragrance is most intense when soil moisture is maintained at 40%-60%.3. Flower care: Removing the outer sepals when the flowers first open can increase the fragrance concentration by 30%.From the "single branch of red beauty" in the Chenxiang Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty to the colorful fragrance of modern gardens, peonies have been interpreting the philosophy of life "color and fragrance dancing together" over thousands of years. Mastering these fragrance patterns, you can also create your own peony fragrance space at home.
