  30. Quite unlike any peony that I've ever seen, though it probably has a bit more growing to do, what do the flowers look like?

  34. Wow - your season is way ahead of ours. We still have snow in shady corners of the backyard. I love the almost-unfurled quality to your photo.

  35. Nice WW. Thanks for stopping by to see my lame first attempt. Next time I'll try to make it better...or "more Wordless"...or maybe both (probably not).
