one of my daughters
gave me
a small bunch of peonies
when suddenly
one bloomed
making a very grand entrance.

Peonies are fabulous flowers. I had three bushes in my yard in Canada and they always made me happy.

I love them, too, and I have one now, with cream colored blossoms and yellow centers. these looked like a small bouquet of pretty pink peonies, and just exploded into these massive blossoms!

So sweet of your daughter to share this beauty with you. My single peony bush only recently emerged from the earth. My community once had a large peony farm and a parade featuring floats adorned with peonies. This was a long time ago, well before I moved here 43 years ago. If only, those peonies were still grown in Faribault.

it’s really unusual. since that dramatic big bloom, It has changed colors, from flamingo to pastel pink to cream, and sucked up all of the water in it’s vase each day, blocking out all of the light for the other flowers behind it, a dinosaur flower
