Light Peony on a Black Background Pillow

I love the flowing soft petals of peonies, which grace the spring with lovely fragrance and beauty. They are such lovely, fragrant flowers that burst into spring beauty, but sometimes seem overlooked amongst the daffodils, tulips, irises, and budding roses. Their lovely peach, pink, white, and red petals, against the glossy herbaceous foliage, remind me of classic wallpaper, old-fashioned greeting cards, and lovely dresses and skirts. I love strolling through my local botanical garden when the peonies bloom and actually spill over on the trails into other flowers.
