Peony, The Queen of Flowers ?

 If I could plant only ONE  flower; it would have to be the
                          white peony.
To me, it is truly a gem of a flower in its understated elegance.
 

But as I consider a garden full of white peony ,I have to admit I would miss the staid lupin ,or the flamboyant poppy and what about the myriad  of other lovely flowers!

Yes, as much as I love the white peony,I am so thankful

for ALL the flowers, and everything they offer us!

Exclusiveness in a garden

is a mistake as great as it is

in society.

(Alfred Austin)
