"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that?
We must have perseverance and above all
confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we
are gifted for something, and that this thing,
at whatever cost, must be attained."
Madam Marie Curie
You are certainly gifted in photographing beauties in nature. That flower is heavenly. I imagine it must look even more beautiful in person. Does it have a scent? If I had these in my garden, I would want to paint them.
SvaraRaderaThank you Jodi,
SvaraRaderaYes, this tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa) is beautiful - but it has no scent. The Paeonia lactiflora, I think it is called Chinese peony in English, have buds and will bloom in a couple of weeks. It has a lovely scent and large pink flowers. You have to come here to see them, paint them and smell them!
