I have three Tree Paeonies:shell pink, white and this one
which was supposed to be dark red
but is fuschia pink streaked with carmine.
It has not flowered beforeand when the branch broke under the weight of snow
I was stricken with disappointment.
I put the branch into waterand when we returned from holiday
it was in full extravagant bloom.
I put down my suitacase and grabbing my camera,photographed the flower immediately in the soft evening light.
The petals are as thin as silk gauzeand have an irridescent sheen.
They are the most exotic of the flowers in my garden
and I love them with a passion.

Indeed, they are quite lovely.
Like a ballerina's tutu.
I love the way you photographed them with the blue and white china.

the petals look like water colour.
It looks good enough to eat on that lovely blue and white plate.
So delicate so lovely!
Absolutely beautiful. I used to have a peony in my front garden in Massachusetts, and I miss it terribly. You were so smart to put the branch in water and give it a chance to bloom.
How lucky you are! And how lovely the photos:-)

The flowers are indeed stunningly lovely, but what I noticed was the leaves - what a gorgeous shape!
Oh, and that plate again!
So gorgeous!
