An ode to the peony ๐ I think peonies are such magnificent, beautiful, precious flowers. You could say they are a good analogy for life. ๐ฅฐThey donโt last long. They start in one form and then quickly open up & transform into various stages of bloom- given the perfect conditions for them.
Some stay in bud, some open up a bit, some fully open up into big over the top silly blooms. I love them all! They remind me to keep noticing the small things. To stop- Notice the smell. Notice the subtle shift and best of all, be big and silly as much as possible โจ๐๐ค๐ I wait all year for peonies and fall in love with them more as each year passes
