Wednesday's Flower

Wednesday's Story

White and soft…

Like the snowflakes falling to the ground.
Vibrant and bright,
As the sun way up in the sky.
A dichotomy of snow and sun,
Cold and warm
A snowy, sunny day:
A flower in bloom.

friday’s flower fact

The more delicate, “single” type peony bears a whorl of only 5-20 broad petals around a central mass of stamens, unlike its double or semi-double counterparts that are most common in the flower trade.
