Pink Peony Opening
A peony flower that is making its transition from a tightly packed green ball with ants crawling over the surface to a full blown drama of a bloom has this lovely mid stage of promise. The petals seem to display the shy gawkiness of a teenager waiting to achieve adulthood, being neither child nor adult. This blossoming beauty shows the broad strokes of colour that will characterise the fully open flower, but hides the details within. Will the centre be a paler tone or will they display a deeper pink? Each plant is unique within its species of course, but each bud also contains a totally unique flower. If we look closely at each we could see these minute variations that distinguish each lovely one. Taking the time to look closely at the flowers I have found and photographed in their different stages has brought me such rich rewards. I hope you enjoy these as much as I.

January 2022 Gallery :
A gallery of flowers shared on a daily basis to cheer myself and hopefully you, the viewer too, during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic period. Posts from January 2022.
A perfect PFD…this one wth the promise of a scent tantalizingly being released with the unfolding of its creased petals…till the full aroma of its blushing splendour is undeniable. Thank you, Ellie, for this sensory image.
I can almost smell that scent, thanks Janet. It’s my pleasure to share a PFD with you. And thanks for the comment. XO
Thank you so much Ellie it is lovely. And like you say it looks like it’s holding a secret in the middle. I hope you have photographed the open one so we can see what was there. Hope you are having a good day. Hugs to you and Steve.
Now that’s a great question, Linda. And I’m not sure if I did photograph it at a later stage. I’ll have to look. Thanks for the comment. Hugs back to you..
