Our house was built in 1960, and this may be a peony from that era. I
transplanted it a few years ago (after digging down about 18"), and it
has been very happy in its new home.

Today was a perfect day for flower pictures. Not a blazing brilliant
sun, but a medium overcast where you can just barely make out a fuzzy
shadow. I find that this kind of soft diffused light makes for the
most pleasant flower shots.

I think that's the best lighting for most things.

This is a lovely shot, thanks,

Mary
