Happy Frilly Foofy Friday Everyone

Well folks I'm still hoping for Spring to come but the temperatures are rising, hurray. Just thought this would make a Fancy Foofy Flower for posting, enjoy

Captured this gorgeous peony in our next door neighbours backyard last 2017, 06-29. He also gives me permission to use for posting.

Enjoy your day, ♥ Skates ♥

Our peonies generally bloom around Memorial Day Skates. Many cemeteries have Peony Bushes. Good shot and hope Spring finds its way to your door.
Have a good weekend.

Have never seen a peony of that color with my own eyes, Pat,
To me very exceptional and very worthwhile to be S+F, so I did this instantly! Thanks for that, my friend!

I'm in the same part of the world as Tick so ours too bloom around Memorial Day - I love the all white ones with just the hint of magenta - they're like giant powder puffs.

Love the textures of this flower. It is a striking image against the dark background. Almost has a painted look which I really like. Very nice Pat!

I think you have been in my garden - this is the only colour peony that will grow for me :)

A lovely capture Pat

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

An absolutely beautiful peony Pat - they just happen to be one of my favorites - I like the little dab of red - nice detail - white can be tricky and you did a great job - pretty soon you will be seeing the 2018 spring version of new peonies - Great Capture!!!!!!!!!

"Captured this gorgeous peon in our next door neighbours backyard..."

Huh? I don't remember being in your neighbor's back yard, Pat, back when I was a working peon for the state.... Oh!... you meant peony! ;oP Sorry... couldn't resist. Pretty flower. Where's the wedding tuxedo that's supposed to be behind it?

That is vivid white! This was one of my mum's favourite flowers.
