Brilliant post, Sandy! Your image is beautiful, I love your focus on the stamens and very glad you included the information about the peony. I didn't know!

Thanks so much, Linda! I thought the bits of green helped to balance the flower - thanks for noticing and commenting:))

I had to look this flower up online, because I didn't know what it was

I'm very happy that you enjoyed the image, as well as the information! Thank you, Donna, for your encouragement.
