Paeonia officinalis subsp. huthii, endemic to S France & NW Italy, in the Parc naturel régional des Préalpes d'Azur, #France. 1st May 2024 #peony#paeonia
I went to a #peony farm yesterday. Peonies are not really known in Australia. I had only ever seen them once before, on a trip to Canada. You can see that the bees were LOVING them! #Flowers#Bloomscrolling
Softly Softly
Good morning everyone! Peonies are one of my favourite flowers but they last too short a time. I can almost imagine the beautiful perfume, just seeing this. I hope you all can imagine a warm summer morning with all the wonderful smells and sounds, wherever you are.
Have a lovely day, Fedi friends. https://www.elliekennard.ca/softly-softly/ #EllieKPosts#FloralFriday#Flowers#Peony#blur#Tuesday#Floral
Peonies are some of the loveliest of flowers and favourites of mine. They last such a short time, but are so sweet-smelling, so soft.
This was taken through a hole in a plastic bag, giving the soft focus effect. It was inspired by my participation in one of the most creative photographic mentorships I've ever experienced, in #GooglePlus
Is there a #peony community on masto? I received flowers as a gift, and now I NEED to know what this one is, so I can try to grow them. I live in Interior #Alaska, so any zone 4 and up varieties are out right off the bat…
From what I’ve read, I think this would be considered a “semi-double” bloom? [edit] After looking online for HOURS, I'm pretty sure it's not a Buckeye Belle or a Chief Black Hawk. Black Panther is my current leading candidate.
Still more #peony nonsense today! Seeing some pink showing up in the dumpling center bits… When does the bloom stop changing on a daily basis? 😂 When do I get to take one last photo and say “OK, this is for sure its final form!” #BloomScrolling
Last of the summer peonies.
I look forward to peony season every year. And they have been wonderful again this year but weeks of drought means they were very soon over this year compared to others. This is the last to open. #climateDiary#bloomscrolling#florespondence#peony
