Tree Peony



Got this photo of a Tree Peony the other day over at Haliburton Farm. I've been trying to grow one in my garden without success. These flowers remind me of big fried eggs. I like the way the shadows in this shot show up the crumpled tissue texture of the petals.

Check out Today's Flowers for more flower photos. And Shadow Shot Sunday for more shadows.
