The other peony

 

On Monday when I was working in the garden the other peony still hadn't bloomed or so I thought.

Even looking from the dining room table I couldn't see it.  Tuesday was a rainy day so I didn't venture out for a closer look until today. But then this morning I caught a glimpse of color and went out with the iPhone to capture it up close.


The rain has weighed down the blooms.  Only two have opened so far.


Checking on the first peony to bloom, I discovered this bloom below with a broken stem so I brought it in to enjoy.
