A peony bud tightly holds her promise as long as she possibly can. It seems a long wait.
Finally deigning to begin breaking, she whispers lightly.
Now she senses the sunlight, deciding that perhaps it is a good thing.

Old-fashioned, perhaps, but there is no time restraint on the fulfilling pleasure afforded by the classically lovely Sarah Bernhardt peony. She is as beautiful as her namesake.
Bowl of Beauty is bright and happy.
A charming flower.
My young bush struggled to produce a few, fast-fading flowers for us this year.

I'm Actually sitting right now in full view of the amazing peonies. The breeze is wafting in the open window and carrying along with it the truly paradisaical scent of the flowers. It makes one glad to be alive on this earth!
