The May Flower Queen

When I think about the most beautiful flower during this month of May, it is definitely the peony. Such a generous flower with its huge multi-layered petals and gorgeous colours and sweet scent. I also love the way they change colour as they mature. A bunch of these beauties were bought at the market and offered to me last Friday. They were all closed buds at first. I am hoping that they will last another couple of days until Friday.
Today is dull after a storm late afternoon yesterday, so one of the peonies in my jug is the perfect choice for today.
