This exploration of beauty in nature is beautifully articulated. Your question about why nature would expend such energy on creating unnecesary beauty really resonates. It suggests something fundamental about the universe itself. I've always found that the most powerfull art comes from noticing these small extravagances around us. The peony example perfectly captures how beauty exceeds pure function, inviting us to see beyond utility.
