Here is a shabby vintage storybook page that includes an illustration of a charming pink peony lady. The page also includes the following short poem:
PEONY’S a charming lady,
She doesn’t like a spot too shady;
Likes to live out in the light,
Dressed in red or pink or white.
Here is a cleaner version of the charming Peony lady.
The page is from Flower Children, The Little Cousins of The Field and Garden by Elizabeth Gordon. The book was published in 1910.

This is lovely, thank-you!
I love this! Do you have others in your collections? This would be so darling framed in a white vintage frame… maybe a set of 4! Marilyn
Thank you very much for your Peony lady lovely xx
I’m happy to know you all like this illustration!
Marilyn,
I own the book and there are many pages of these adorable flower children in it. I plan to upload several more in the weeks ahead. I love your idea to display a few of them in a white vintage frame.
Love these little ladies!!!
Oh my goodness Julie – these flower children are just delightful. Thanks for offering them here on your blog and for cleaning up the image. I am in hopes to make a set of tags with them.
oh thanks! I will use for non commercial purpose :))
