The heart is bleeding (lotus peony with bleeding heart)

This flower, Lotus Peony, is very interesting.

As a lover who likes to take landscape photography, when I take scenery outdoors, I also aim my lens at the lush forests in the mountains and the grass under my feet ... As a photographer, of course, I take all my things. Of course, those with wings can't be caught; However, both flowering and sowing are worth taking pictures.

Nature is magical. If it is cold in winter, plants will blossom and bear fruit early. I have been shooting scenery outdoors for many years, and I am used to seeing flowers blooming and falling, and I no longer hurt spring and autumn. Look at the natural scenery, feel the breath of the four seasons, pat the wild flowers conveniently, trace the families and genera after filming, and increase the knowledge reserve! In the long run, I also like plant photography.

This flower, boiled peony, is really interesting.

I first learned about "peony" because my father raised peony. At that time, I didn't go to school ... I only knew that the potted flowers at home were called peony (children who didn't go to school had limited cognition). I only vaguely remember that peony is the king of flowers, and everyone says that "flowers bloom with wealth"! So my dad treats me like a baby.

Later, I paid attention to peony, which was after I went outdoors to take pictures of scenery and flowers. I have never seen wild peony outdoors, but I have seen peony's sister-peony. That flower blooms like a big white bowl. It smells good from afar.

Of course, I also met other relatives of peony outdoors, such as anemone, trollius, delphinium, clematis, aquilegia and so on. Although these wild flowers have different shapes, they all have one characteristic, that is, their leaves look like celery-this is the "soil" that I have summed up from my personal observation. But that doesn't mean that when you meet a celery leaf-style plant outdoors, you must be a relative of peony ... If you want to be a relative of peony, you have to be included in Ranunculaceae. If they belong to the same clan, you can use the peony of the king of flowers to climb relatives.

It's just like the saying "people with the same surname were family 500 years ago". Wang xing and wang xing have been churning it out for generations, and it is possible that there are really no five clothes; If the surname Gongsun and Murong ... if they want to get married, they may have to go forward for several dynasties.

Back to the relationship between peony and peony. Although there is the word "peony" in the name, it is really not a relative of peony. At least, it's definitely not within five clothes. Why? Because Paeonia lactiflora belongs to Papaveraceae and Paeonia lactiflora belongs to Ranunculaceae. Although the name is the same, it really doesn't matter. You see, Mu Rongfu and Duan Yu dress alike, and they are both related to Wang Yuyan ... but they are really different! In the same way, although the purse peony is called peony, and its leaves are quite similar to celery, it is really not the "family" of peony.

This kind of flower, boiled peony, is not only interesting in name, but also more interesting in appearance.

When ordinary people meet strange girls in the street, the first thing they see is their faces, right?

When a photographer sees a flower, he must look at it at first sight-and then figure out how to make a composition according to the shape of the flower and the shape of the leaves.

The first time I saw this flower, the first feeling was like a string of small hearts hanging up.

A row of love together, this picture is not very cute?

However, some people say that the appearance of crimson lotus bud peony is like a "bleeding heart", which makes people unforgettable.

So you see, different moods lead to different perspectives. I also saw the lotus bud peony. I think it is "love" full of positive energy, but others feel bleeding ... sad?

The lotus peony I have seen is only red and white. I haven't seen any other colors ... Frankly speaking, the crimson one is definitely better than the white one. After all, white looks a little dull, not as bright as crimson. It is said that there are many varieties of artificial improvement of lotus bud peony, and there will be some differences in appearance. But the overall style is still dominated by "a long string of hanging flowers".

The unique heart-shaped appearance of purse peony makes people want to take a close-up of just one flower. Most people will use a large aperture to blur the background when shooting the pouch peony, and shoot the unique heart-shaped beauty of the pouch peony. Under normal circumstances, in order to compress the viewing angle and superimpose the shallow depth of field, a "lotus bud peony" will be shot with a telephoto lens. But the premise is that the shooting environment allows the photographer to keep enough distance from the lotus peony.

Shoot a long string of bagged peonies, usually with a curve composition and a diagonal composition. Because the branches hanging on the purse peony are like the curve of the clothesline. Flower photography, framing and composition are all based on the shape of flowers. Since the purse peony is a vine with a string of "love", of course, we should make this row of "love" into a line of beauty when composing the composition.

Poached peony is not tall, about 30-60 cm. The flowering period is April-June, and now it's time to shoot. Peony is a perennial herb. I like to grow in a semi-shady, cold-resistant environment. If you can't find bagged peony in the natural environment, you can go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market and ask the merchants who sell flowers. Pocket peony is really favored by consumers because of its unique shape. As photography lovers, it is also possible for us to buy a pot and go home to study how to shoot it-the purse peony is not only ornamental, but also used as medicine! Beautiful, easy to shoot, easy to feed ... you really deserve such a wallet peony.
