The 106-year-old queen peony tree known as "Fenhe" is expected to be in blossom from April 20 to May 15, coinciding with the first Peony Assembly, which will be held in Beijing Liulihe Peony Park in Fangshan district, the Beijing Daily reported.

It is estimated that 1 million flowers will be in blossom during this event, including 40,000 tree peonies and 16,000 Chinese peonies. Last year, for the two weeks that Fenhe was in bloom, more than 20,000 visitors came to see the tree's 90 blossoms.

This year, organizers have planned many activities and prepared 500 pots of peonies to be given out as prizes; each pot will be cultivated by specialists and presented to winners in the autumn.
