Yesterday, at our “World Famous in Our Town” farmer’s market, I bought a bunch of pink and cream paeonies. They are the most outrageously beautiful flowers on the planet. The blooms come with heads the size of a cricket ball, and when they open they will be the size of a plate. It is impossible to describe the colours and form, they are so mind bogglingly beautiful.
Anyway, I hopped on the train to work with two stems, for my boss. Within seconds of finding a seat, I noticed a lady staring at me and the flowers. Soon she left her seat to sit next to me and asked me where I’d bought them. In the 15 minute trip, we talked none stop about flowers and photography. She specialises in close ups of flowers, so we debated lenses and digital vs film photography. As we left the train we exchanged email addresses. Maybe one day I will decorate my flower shop with her photos?
Moral of the story, if you want to find a new friend, travel with a bunch of paeonies.
