Peonies — Bouquet #6
Bouquet #6, the last of my spring subscription from Westwind Flowers Farm & Studio, was a flourish of peonies, both pink and white. They are gorgeous in abundance, but I decided to focus on a single flower in the state between a tight bud and wide open bloom. That opening is where the beauty lies for me. It’s not a forced opening where the petals need to be pried open. Instead, the process is a gentle unfolding, like an invitation to enter and simply witness feelings or friendship or love.
