In China, peonies are often referred to as the “King of Flowers” and when I see them in gardens in the spring I can certainly understand why. The lush blossoms, the fragrant scents, the beautiful green leaves make peonies the center of attention when they are blooming. Most other flowers fade into the background in a garden full of peonies.
I’ve photographed a number of peonies over the years – and thought I’d share some of my peony photos with you this morning.
