This is a photo of last years peonies. They're so voluptuous but far too transient. Their gorgeousness becomes all too much and they literally bow down with the weight of their beauty.
That is if you don't stake them properly which I learned the hard way this year!
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us. ~Iris Murdoch, A Fairly Honourable Defeat

These are sublimely beautiful, Janie. They make me wonder if there's such thing as too much beauty. I'm thinking there isn't...I can never get enough of this!
Those are lovely peonies - so voluptuous and sexy, really!
what gorgeous flowers...i love them too
I just adore peonies, especially this white one with the flecks of red - I think it's "Festiva Maxima".
Great photo!
The lighting and composition of these flowers reminds me strongly of the great masters. Beautiful!
stunning image.
We are surrounded by such wealth and don't see it ... you did! Do..
Gorgeous!
