Promise of more beauty to come. The peony always reminds me of the time I lived in Pennsylvania and people would come door to door selling them to put on the graves for Memorial Day.

A seductive unfolding. "Make them beg for more," as Gypsy Rose Lee's mother advised.

Glad you are giving updates on the peony. I just love them. When I was visiting Pittsburgh, I was hoping to find some already opened... but no luck. Nice work on the light... and I like the drops. V
