Description
This peony was taken last year in the spring. The peonies in my backyard were in full bloom. We had an extraordinary warm winter and am not sure if it didn't affected the colors of the peonies. They were much larger and much more brillant in color then in the past. I love taking macro shots of flowers showing as much detail as I can get in a photograph. I want the person viewing the work to see what they might not ordinarily see. I think it is important to take the time to look at things closely and really enjoy what nature has to offer.
Peonies can be classified by both plant growth habit and flower type. Plant growth types are Herbaceous (nonwoody), Tree (shrub), and Itoh (or "Intersectional"), which is intermediate between herbaceous and tree forms. In winter herbaceous peonies die back to their underground parts, whereas tree peonies lose their leaves but retain viable woody stems above ground. The Itoh hybrids are intermediate between herbaceous and tree forms. They are named after Toichi Itoh, who first produced a successful intersectional hybrid in 1948.
