Lesi sigameko sibekwe engadini eluhlaza, enakekelwa kahle ebonakala iyimvelo futhi inakekelwa kahle. Kungumkhosi wokugubha ukwehlukahlukana kwezitshalo nokuchichima kwezinkathi ezithile zonyaka, okubonisa uxhaxha olumangalisayo lwezinhlobonhlobo ze-peony ngemibala ehlukahlukene, osayizi, nezigaba zokuqhakaza. Ingaphambili lesithombe libuswa izimbali ezintathu ezihlaba umxhwele ngokukhethekile: eyodwa emhlophe ekhilimu enezingqimba zamacembe ahlohleke kahle, i-fuchsia-pink egcwele ukuvevezela nokunotha okujulile, kanye nopinki ophaphathekile othambile onesikhungo esisagolide-ophuzi elengeza ukufudumala okuthambile ekwakhiweni kwalo. Amacembe awo amaningi, akhanya kancane ekukhanyeni kwelanga, abamba ukukhanya kahle, enze umuzwa wokujula nomthamo.

Okuzungeza lezi zimbali ezigxile kukho ulwandle lwama-peonies aluba lubheke ngemuva, imibala yawo esukela kokubomvu klebhu kanye ne-magenta ecebile ukuya kokuluhlaza okuntekenteke kanye nokuphinki. Ukuhlangana kwale mibala, kuhlanganiswe nezimo ezihlukene zezimbali—eminye imiqumbe eqinile esanda kuvuleka, eminye evuleke ngokuphelele futhi icwebezelayo—kwengeza ukuthungwa okubonakalayo okuguquguqukayo nesigqi endaweni yesehlakalo. Amahlamvu angezansi anombala oluhlaza ojulile, onempilo, anamaqabunga aluhlaza, a-lanceolate akha ingemuva elihlukile kunezimbali eziqhakazile ngenhla. Lesi sisekelo esiluhlaza sisekela ukwakheka futhi siqinisa umbono wensimu yemvelo yasengadini echumayo, ewondlekile.

Maphakathi nendawo nangemuva, izitshalo eziningi ze-peony zigcwalisa uhlaka, kancane kancane zithambe zibe ukufiphala okuphuphile njengoba ukugxila kushintsha, kudala umphumela wemvelo wokujula kwenkundla odonsa iso lombukeli kusukela ezimbalini ezingaphambili ukujula esithombeni. Ngalé kombhede wezimbali, umngcele ominyene wezihlahlana ezinamaqabunga nezihlahla ezivuthiwe uvale ingadi, amathunzi azo amnyama ohlaza afaka ukuqhuma okumibalabala kwama-peonies futhi egcizelela ukukhazimula kwawo. Ukukhanya kwelanga okudabukile okusefa ezihlahleni kuphakamisa umoya opholile wasehlobo, othuthukisa indawo yesigameko ebabazekayo, ecishe ingaphelelwa yisikhathi.

Ukwakheka kwawo akubambi nje ubuhle bezimbali ngokwazo kodwa nomoya wosuku oluhle lwasehlobo epharadesi lasengadini—lizolile, likhazimulayo, futhi liphila ngombala. Ivusa imizwa yokuthula, ukuvuselelwa, kanye nenjabulo elula etholakala emijikelezweni yesizini yemvelo. Lesi sithombe singakhanga abalimi, izazi zezitshalo, abathandi bemvelo, nanoma ubani ojabulela ubuhle bezimbali, futhi sisebenza njengesifanekiso esihle esibonakalayo sobuhle nokwehlukahlukana kwama-peonies aphakeme kakhulu.
