When her petals fade and stamens wilt the peony leaves her greenish yellow carpels and fluorescent pink stigmas to admire.

Well, isn’t she just the little hussy running around like that! LOL!
beautiful!
a wonderful photo….and words x
And doesn’t she still look beautiful.
Thank you so much for the lovely card.
Stunning photo and detail you have captured here Miriam!
Gorgeous! (Just wanted you to know I’m on a search to find a honeysuckle to add to our garden. One nursery owner said yours is quite unusual for here, but thought he’d have one in a few weeks.)
Beautiful words and photo! Love that texture.
So much detail in that shot. Peonies were my Grandpa’s favourite flower.
wonderful hidden beauty
Wow fabulous photograph
Beautifully, richly done…and I must admit I’m impressed by your knowledge of plant parts and biology. I’m lucky to recognize leaves and petals and know the name of the plant, never mind all the detail you provided here!
So nicely done, Miriam, and you know, I actually love the peonies when they are past their prime just about as much as when they are in full bloom.
I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day, and I wish you a great evening.
Just beautifully done :). Your camera work and editing is a joy to the eye.
Pretty photo – and I like her story too.
