Have you ever seen the peony’s bud?
It’s not much more than a tight oval.
But when the bud opens up,
the greatest petals
and carpels
and stigma
burst
out.
And while I inhaled the sweet rose’s scent
I couldn’t help but think that it’s a bit like the mind.
There is so much that the cranium
hides from the world.
You never
know.
Beautiful simplicity.

Beautiful photos! 🙂
Intricacy builds up from the very very simple – that flower once consisted of, and arose entirely from, a single cell – just as a human was once a conjunction of just 2 cells.
Nature is an amazingly simple thing – if we look back far enough 😉
love.

Beautiful. Peonies are one of my all time favorites. I have numerous plants heavily loaded with buds. Now, I’m concerned I may be out of state when they actually bloom. It will break my gardening heart. 🙂
