I love the poem really beautiful but your peonies they’re so wonderful!! Just imagine having a piece of vintage fabric with peonies and of course you have it, fabulous too! My peonies are still tight buds but they’re almost ready to bloom and I can’t wait I just wish they would last longer.

Your photos, along with Trish's, will keep me visually nourished for another year! I remember the first time I saw peonies. I was entering the large lobby of the Williamsburg Inn, Williamsburg, Virginia. Immediately, I was overwhelmed by the air of the sweetest and most complex perfume and exquisite blooms in the largest Chinese Export Porcelain Bowl I had ever seen. The blooms were white, magnificent colors of pink and red, apricot and soft yellow. I will never forget that experience.

And well-researched, well thought out.<br /><br />I was researching tree peonies myself today and came across this description to go along with your own:<br />"Tree peonies represent good fortune, love and prosperity, and are considered the essence of the Yin (female) element in nature. The plant itself is considered male, thus it has supreme unity in both the male and female elements."<br /><br />No wonder we love them so!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922270492303539101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330340885438404380.post-20070951545597548662011-06-04T15:07:06.716-07:002011-06-04T15:07:06.716-07:00It feels like 'two souls and one thought' ...It feels like 'two souls and one thought' Trish.<br />Wrote this post probably at the same time like you wrote your today's one!<br />And I think that the poem is very much 'us'!<br />Then, 2009 - a very good year for both of our tree peonies, 2010 was brilliant for the white 'Festiva Maxima' which had only three! flowers this year.
