i enjoyed the pink tree peonies

SOMEPINKFLOWERS:
I agree with you,
whatever name this wildflower may have, it is an incredibly beautiful plant, - the flower petals, the leaves, the buds -, hiding among the meadow grass.
While there are pink wildflowers in Austria, I photographed the tree peonies in Belvedere Castle's Alpine Gardens last week. More to come! ;-)

PHOTOWANNABE:
True wild forgetmenots grow along the creeks where I grew up, so I do no the difference. This little beauty here is much smaller, tucked in between the leaves of grass.
