Picture Perfect............


A last minute shot, unplanned, turns into a beauty of a shot.  The idea that a flower that size can unfold from the head of a bud that small is shown with bud and bloom side by side. It is amazing to see it happen every single time. I think that is one of the things that I like about growing flowers is to watch the miraculous change every single time that something blooms.  It is like a butterfly coming out of it's cocoon when they unfold from their cramped form into an exploding form of petals.

Very beautiful, Larry !
I just told on my blog that these pretty flowers did not bloom for a long time enough.

Hi Larry, You have peonies blooming already?! It IS lovely! And I agree, watching so much beauty emerge from such a small compact bud is absolutely amazing! You'd think Someone had planned those miracles! Thanks for the great picture!

Peony and Tulips....

  The flowers are getting a gentle rain this morning.  It  makes the soil and sub soil happier as our drought is less these days.
