William Blake once said that "exuberance is beauty". I think this is often true in nature, particularly flowers. As much as I love tiny, little, simple flowers, my favorite flowers are inevitably ones that have a bit of exuberance about them. I love peonies and mums, both flowers best known for their incredible number of petals. This peony is from the peony gardens at Fort Edmonton which is probably one of my favorite features of the park. Peonies are just amazing because as they bloom they slowly reveal more and more layers of petals. They look different every single day because of this. Yup, definitely a favorite of mine.
