So here is the Peony I've been going to visit for quite a while so I could finally see it open it's beauty completely! Such an interesting center of stamens. It appears that this Peony slowly opens and once it does, evidently it doesn't stay that way long at all. But I was very happy to find it basking in the sunlight today. Please enjoy and comment if you wish.

Verena - I'm wondering if peonies are not that bright - when opening they keep on going until the petals fall off. If only they stayed open like tulips or daffodils. But, while in the process, they are beautiful flowers. Thad

They normally bloom around Memorial Day in my part of the world Verena. Nice soft touch on this one.

Those single petal peonies never last very long. You were lucky to get such a nice shot. Gorgeous!

Great foofy image once again, Verena. I particularly like the lighting in this, and the little bits of blue sky peeking through. Very nice.

I don't think I have ever seen a peony with so few petals, but it is just as lovely, if not more so. I'm so glad you got there when you did... the lighting is gorgeous, and the they look like their blushing :) Beautiful capture, Verena!

Lovely flower Verena. I love the light on this flower, even though the sun is harsh, the shadows and the way you have captured is wonderful. Well done.
