WW - Tree Paeony
Our species tree paeony (Paeonia lutea ludlowii) coming back to life. This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday edition of Wordless Wednesday.
Nice WW. Thanks for stopping by to see my lame first attempt. Next time I'll try to make it better...or "more Wordless"...or maybe both (probably not).
we have vegetable here in the country that looks similar to that. we call it kangkong = ) great shot! you have so many stories to tell about plants every week.
THanks. Tor I have a Nikon D200 and a specialist macro lens and ring flash.I did have the ISO setting high which possibly afected the image quality slightly
uhhh! is that a vegetable? mine's up too hhope you can drop by.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this tree/plant before. Looks interesting. Looks like it's about to bloom.

ReplyDeleteVery unusual looking plant ! Hope you put up pics of the blooms ! Would love to see them :)
ReplyDeleteSpring has sprung! Happy WW Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteYou say Paeony, I say Peony!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, sounds like another hit song for our imaginary off-off-off Broadway musical, jams.
Putting on the trying to get blood from a rock in the Terrorism that is Capitalism.
ReplyDeleteI love peonies. Can't wait to see mine come alive again.
ReplyDeleteInteresting looking tree - I don't think I've seen it before.
ReplyDeleteIt kinda looks like old hands...Happy WW. Great shot:)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely tree, jams! Peonies here get big black ants on them just before they bloom, ugh!
ReplyDeleteNever seen this before. It's a tree?
ReplyDeleteI hope you post pictures of it when it grows bigger - this one is kind of hard to tell what I'm looking at! 8-)
ReplyDeleteI love the first signs of spring :-)
ReplyDeleteDo I see a snowflake or two as well?
I can hardly wait to have buds to take pictures of!!
ReplyDeleteI so love spring and all the wonders it brings. Have a great WW Jams. :)
ReplyDeleteUndoubtedly beautiful! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Interesting. And very beautiful!

I love peonies. I don't think I've ever seen a tree peony. I hope in the future you show it in full bloom :)
ReplyDeleteI did not know tree peonies existed it is lovely w/ expectation of more
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful that they're coming back to life! Going to be beautiful flowers when they bloom this summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for visiting
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this before. I have a black thumb. I shouldn't be around any plant. LOLOL
ReplyDeleteHave a great WW and thanks for stopping by!
That is a weird looking plant.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
That's a really interesting looking plant. Good job on the photo.
ReplyDeleteQuite unlike any peony that I've ever seen, though it probably has a bit more growing to do, what do the flowers look like?
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I would like to see it in full bloom. Maybe next week?
ReplyDeleteAre you using a black backdrop or just a fill flash?
so gorgeous!
ReplyDeletehappy WW!
wonderful! .. and the drops add something more to the shot! :)
ReplyDeleteWow - your season is way ahead of ours. We still have snow in shady corners of the backyard. I love the almost-unfurled quality to your photo.
ReplyDeleteNice WW. Thanks for stopping by to see my lame first attempt. Next time I'll try to make it better...or "more Wordless"...or maybe both (probably not).

i've always loved peonies. they bring up warm memories of my grandmother, who loved them also and had many in her backyard.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I didn't realize it was a peony!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, will you be photographing it once it is fully awake?
