Floral Friday : Flower In Focus

One flower takes the spotlight for this month's Floral Friday and I chose peonies which happen to be my favorite for their delicate beauty and light sweet fragrance. What is your favorite flower?

 Floral Fridays is a monthly photography project with different themes each month. This series is about fun and taking time out to smell the flowers. To play along, please email Trishie for next month's theme. And please visit my fellow participants below for more inspirations. See more of my Floral Friday posts.

Happy Independence Day to all my friends and readers in the US! I'm so excited the fireworks have moved back to the East River in NYC and we can watch them from our terrace again. Be safe and enjoy a wonderful weekend everyone!

    Beautiful images of my favourite flower! We grew the pink variety in the garden of one of the houses we owned, while growing up in Canada, and their sweet and refreshing scent is still very fragrant in my memory.

    Thank you for sharing! Happy 4th!

    My favorites are white orchids with purple lips but I love peony, too. It adds such a delicate feminine touch when used in fragrances.

    These photos are marvellous of the peonies. I love flowers, especially tulips (my favourite), but adore the peonies, and hydrangeas too.
    Enjoy your weekend Rowena.

    You can include me among those who love peonies; your collage is beautiful. In my garden, I don't have any like the luscious, deep red ones in your photo. They're gorgeous!

    Ooooohhh so pretty! Lovely shots. They are such beautiful flowers. Though my favorite is tulip but peonies never fail to light up the mood whenever you see them!

    Hope you are having a lovely weekend, as blissful as these flowers, my dear friend! Thanks for cheering me up when I was a little down past few weeks, now that I am back, am so thankful *_^

    UGH. IN AWE OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS. You've managed to make these peonies look uber delicate. I remember one year I had access to a garden full of peonies, so I had a large vase full of them and they made me happy for quite a while. My room smelled divine for weeks. :D
