Well, the big blizzard has arrived at my house so I dug into my files for a spring shot for all my fellow caedes members snowed in or about to be snowed in. This was taken in May at the Chicago Botanic Garden - a lovely golden Japanese Peony. All comments and critiques appreciated.

If I could name this flower, it would be Lemon Sherbet. That's what I am reminded of by this so delicate, multi-petaled beauty.

The Japanese peony is much pretty than the American! That yellow is stunning and so is your capture Kathy!

Kathy this looks nothing like a yellow pony. My mistake I misread the title. I'll try again. This looks nothing like a yellow penny either.:)
A great closeup of this yellow peony. Beautiful colours and details in your photo. I like the soft delicate petals. Thanks for digging this up from your garden bin.

Kathy - A pretty color, frilly petals, basking in the sunlight - much nicer than the view out the window on this stormy winter day! Thad
