The Way a Peony Opens

Watching the little round balls of peony bud
Just that slight glimpse of color between the green coverings
fuschia color mine..

 Today -  it began the slow burst.
The petals ruffling just a hint out of the tightly balled bud
The flower will slowly become 5 times the size of it's home
 voluptuous in it's excess - wet, feathery, fragile, short lived
heavy
hanging on it's stem wondering.
We watch for the bees to become enamored.

The way a peony Opens.
