The Peony flower generally symbolizes love, honor, happiness, wealth, romance, and beauty. The peony is traditionally given on special occasions as an expression of goodwill, best wishes, and joy. Combined with the cosmic background, this piece says: "May all good and beautiful things come your way in the Universe".
