Hopefully, this garden abstract of my first Peony, "Bowl of Beauty" captures all the beauty and warmth of a summer garden.

Hello Everyone,

This peony scene were one of a bizillion pictures I took of these flowers in 2020 as it was one of those years that peonies did really well. For Slider's Sunday, I applied an abstract filter and made colour adjustments in Topaz Studio. I just wish there was a way to add the scent of them which was just heavenly. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have an amazing day!

Due to the amount of awards and comments, I can't thank everyone individually, so I'm doing it here.

Thanks for stopping by my gallery. I’m very pleased and really appreciate each and every view of my photo, comments, invitations and awards.

I have a real penchant for both peonies and expressionism, so I put them together for this week's slider. I hope you enjoy! HSS!

'Bowl of Beauty' Peony is famous for its huge, hot-pink outer petals that surround a soft and frilly ivory-yellow center, with each bloom measuring up to 10" across. One of the most attractive peonies available,

The world's third favorite flower after roses and orchids...maybe tied with tulips.

I used to have 4 plants of peony in the garden. This was one of them. which needed a lot of sunshine. After a while, they reduced the blooms, cause my neighbor's 4 white pine trees kinda blocked the sunshine from them. I was lucky to capture a bee in it. Ants love them.

Note; For my name's sake!
