Peony Buds, As Found Flowering Plants
|
One compact bud that would someday become a flower. They bloom from spring to summer. This plant was in
partial shade so will bloom more towards summer.
|
When viewed up close, even these tight little balls can look
monstrous and evil.
|
Each plant can produce dozens of hard ball-like buds. Because these buds, and the flowers that follow, are
so heavy, the plant needs support to stand up.
|
Here, several buds illustrate the stages of transformation. A small compact ball becomes al larger ball, and that larger ball begins to elongate to later become a flower.
|
One of the ball-like buds was dangerously close to blooming into a flower.
