When we were youngsters, our mother made ‘rice pudding’ and she’d put a little dab of jam (jelly) in the middle – which inevitably led to having pink rice pudding, but no less delicious for it!
(Sorry, no idea what flower it is. I’ve used a little photoshop work to kill some of the light, which has in turned brought some of the colour up and darkened the background)

Oh this is beautiful Stephen – any my mother did exactly the same wit the rice pud. Wonderful image associations.
Thanks!
(I make a mean rice pudding myself – but then there’s not much to it!)
Nice pic and story! 😉
Thanks!
wonderful!

A peony, I should think. Mmmm….rice pudding with jam.
A peony!
Thanks!
A beautiful peony for sure 🙂
Thanks!
There were several varieties in the garden, thought this one was showing the best.
Yes it is a peony…what lovely flowers they are. Beautiuflly rendered in this photo.
I must admit, I’m was only familiar with a purple variety which seemed to shed its petals after one day.
I was surprised that some were quite fragrant.
There are always many variety of the same flower or plant.
I love the perfume of the peonies. Sometimes a bloom has been on the plant for a while before we pick it; in that case it will not last. There is a beautiful rose called Iceberg that grows tall and becomes covered with great blooms but when cut and taken into the house they last only two or three days…
I enjoy your photos very much.
Thank you!
Unfortunately, our garden is quite small so we are limited in the number of plants we can grow – nothing too exotic as the weather can be very demanding.
I always liked a healthy spoonful of jam in the rice pudding my gran used to make for us – yummy! Nice shot.
Cheers!
