Select the first branch of the peony.Select the best branch among the peonies.Urge you to take it without hesitation.I advise you to pick the flowers quickly while they are blooming, don't hesitate any longer.If the world asks where we know each other.If you want to ask where in the world a true friend is.Everything comes to life in spring at the right time.One should take action during springtime.

Spring is the time when peonies bloom, so if you want to pick peonies, you must do so while they are blooming in spring. If you miss the opportunity, there will be no flowers to pick. Therefore, the matters that the seeker of divination wants to inquire about should be approached just like picking the most beautiful peonies, taking advantage of the timing that spring brings.
