timeless beauty

Actually stole this idea from some other photographer on the dailyshoot.com site.  Today's assignment was to take a picture of something having to do with time.  The photographer went on to describe the peony as it begins to bloom- the peaks and valleys of each nook and cranny as each section opens according to it's own time schedule.  This flower is pink but only a black and white could show the ins and the outs.  My peony bush has never been anything to rave about.  The original one was in my front yard and it would bloom two days before Memorial Day and then the rains would drown the blooms into a soggy mess.  I decided to separate the plant into 3 or 4 sections and planted them in the back.  So far only two of the four plants have survived and only one has bloomed- after Memorial Day thank you very much.  They really are a beautiful plant.  Just frustrating how the flowers just don't last long enough.
