 Taken on my last trip to the aquarium. They have an attached children's garden (separate fees) that I had never gone in. Wrong time of year though, mostly everything was in the process of dying.

I love it, it's colors maybe almost gone, but not its beauty. I have a plant (not sure what type as this moment) but its flowers last two to three days and then they fall off and die... I make sure to admire them while I can.

Doesn't matter that it's dying, it's still rather lovely

I knew I would love this from the thumbnail and the full size didn't disappoint. Nice work!

There's something quite intriguing about aging flowers. Could be that I've started to empathize with them ;-)

A very interesting shot. I especially like the shadows on the petals :)

Peonies age well, don't they? Still beautiful, like a retired beauty queen.
