Although not in the road ditches peonies, in a range of colors from dark red, pink and even white, can be seen from the road. You can smell them in the breeze even before you get close to the large blossoms. The ground under the flowers will be eventually turn to white when the petals drop but the white isn’t from cold snow.
White Peonies
Things in nature is often fleeting, like seeing a deer for the few seconds before it disappears into the woods or the tree frog I just saw leaping onto a branch, so if you see something looking pretty, you better grab the camera and not plan to get it later. The peonies were in full bloom yesterday morning and this morning after the rain, the ground is covered in pink and the remaining blossoms look tattered and shaggy.
