May 10: One-a-Day: Flowers--Nature's Eye Candy

Exquisite. Luscious. Soft pink petals, feathery, layer after layer. The fragrance of peonies fills a room.

And while I always yearn to bring a bouquet of them indoors, I know the invitation will include the mighty ants whose job to walk among the layers encourages the buds to blossom fully.  And so, outdoors they must remain. 

Sadly, their stay in May is brief; their mop-like heads soon droop, and petals fall in clusters.

I enjoy them while I can!
