If Mainz ever needs….#1379

….its own National State City Flower, I think I’ve found it!
It’s Paeonia suffruticosa or the tree peony aka Narrenkappius officinalis.

The blossom’s a treat, but if you wait a bit, you’re rewarded by a dead ringer of the thing that hard-core Karnevalista transport around on their heads.

Helau….
