The volunteer

I was amazed to see this peony bud in our backyard this afternoon. A volunteer peony showed up far from our established peonies two years ago but without producing any flowers. Suddenly there are two buds on the very small plant; I hope they bloom!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Wonderful light. I love the extravagance of peonies - this one looks quite vibrant and ready to put on a good show.
