arrangement of hellebores, clematis, peonies, lilacs and viburnum

i seem to do a post every april featuring peonies, so this is my 2014 contribution. we're doing a wedding this weekend and our very tiny studio apartment is getting pretty full with loveliness. sigh -- flower problems. they're really the only type of problems to have. should we include more peonies or sweet peas or poppies? terrible decisions, really. honestly, if the world stopped to smell the roses, perhaps there would finally be peace. funny how nature can do that….

for you, Q, photos taken with mamiya 645AFD (i can't justify the expense of a contax 645, hence with a very used model from ebay) and some fuji 400H film. the results aren't bad either.
