Flower for the Day Peony II 5-9-24

We are in the midst of peony season. The flowers are weathering numerous rainstorms

and drooping down like peonies do. I have a whole circle full of peonies.

The white ones are quite formal.

     a rice bowl

  filled to the brim
   one peony

And the pinks are regal.

           though mine

      I hesitate to pluck
         the peonies
