MORE INFO / RELATED STORY: PEONIES As every flower lover knows, flowers have a language of their own. Every sentiment is expressed in one form or another by these fragile blooms. Of course, even the experts disagree on the ''true meaning'' of many flowers and most have different meanings to different people. So, while all flowers convey thoughtfulness and love, there are some of the more traditional meanings... Peonies generally mean, ''Happy Life'' or ''Happy Marriage''. The peonies drawn on this gentle hand-made nesting doll convey the meaning of happiness and would make an excellent gift to a special friend, spouse, or family member.
