There are peonies in my house today,
their petals all abloom,
so soft, and so ethereal,
casting their spell throughout the room,
bathing everything that I see
in such sweet delight.
Will they remain as radiant till morning,
or will they be spent after the long night?

lovely photo and poem!
Do you pronounce it “pee OH nee… or PEE ah nee….. either way it’s the flower for me.
Me, too! I love them!
