Excelente postagem!
Penso que você percebeu que a partir desta edição do TODAY'S FLOWERS, nós retiramos a opção de comentários diretos no blog e encaminhamos os comentários ao blog do convidado!
Foi uma sugestão da Denise que endossei imediatamente, pois as homenagens pela postagem devem ser ao convidado, sendo o blog é apenas uma vitrine ou um painel, em que nossos queridos convidados apresentam sua obra!
Ao que tudo indica, foi uma boa idéia!

Abraço e até a próxima

Luiz

This Peonya flowers are stunning and charming in its pink colour. Photos are great with its blur background. Fantastic photos, indeed!

Titania said...

Fantastic pictures. I was not sure, I thought when I saw the leaves it was a Camellia.The peonies are grand flowers. I would love to grow them but the climate is not at all suitable.

Sara Chapman said...

These are very, very beautiful. Peonies deserve the finest photography, which you have provided. Thanks for posting.

Kahshe Cottager said...

Peonies have the most beautiful scent don't they? I save and dry the petals to keep in my house so I can continue to enjoy them long after the flowers are gone. I will have to wait until next June before they bloom in my garden again!

These are lovely photos!
