"Hana-Daijin" or Magnificent Flower Tree Peony Bud
Peony stands out with special cultural message...Its fullness in bloom emits a sense of elegance, happiness, fortune and prosperity, the feelings of which are cherished in Oriental culture. This gorgeous specimen is in my Oriental bed in front of my porch so I can admire it from above with is many blooms. They have large, shapely, semi-double flowers with petals slightly curved, bright clear magenta with a tidy tuft of creamy-yellow stamens. They have a delicate floral scent too. This year the blooms are so big I have to stake the stems. A bumblebee was nesting in the pine mulch under the shrub this spring and she is already in the blooms collecting the pollen.
I used my Lensbaby Velvet 56 manual lens for this image.
