Collection plate

Petals of this Chinese tree peony, Snow Kissed Peach, act as natural collectors for the pollen that falls.



See below for the full photo.

Beautiful banner Elizabeth!

Excellent banner Elizabeth!

Beautiful banner! Acorn-worthy!

You've captured the heart of this peony exquisitely.... and it's capturing our attention. Well done, as is your signature style.

I tried earlier this evening to add the full photo, and somehow it got lost. Here's another attempt.
Note, Snow Kissed Peach is not, as far as I can tell, a registered Chinese tree peony. That's just the name that appears on the plant's ID label at the Peony Garden, Nichols Arboretum (Ann Arbor)

That is SO pretty!


I love that whole image....colors, details, composition, lighting.
The way the pollen collected in the petals. Wow.
It would look great enlarged & framed.

Thanks to all who left kind comments and thumbs up. They're always much appreciated.
