Who knows what the assorted peony flowers in Luoyang are like?

"Luoyang is the most suitable flower, and peony is especially strange in the world." Peony is a famous traditional flower in China, and flower viewing is an ancient custom of Luoyang people. Bai Juyi's poem "Flowers bloom and fall for 20 days, and the whole city is crazy" and Liu Yuxi's poem "Only peony is the true national color, and the capital moves when flowers bloom" vividly describe the grand occasion of the whole city enjoying flowers at that time. With the improvement of people's living standards and the vigorous development of tourism, Luoyang people's enthusiasm for planting flowers and enjoying them is increasing day by day. Every year, when the "Grain Rain" peony blossoms, Chinese and foreign tourists flock to Luoyang, creating a good opportunity for Luoyang's opening to the outside world.
