Work in Progress

I like to think a flower opens itself to outgrow its plantedness. That it yearns to be carried away. ~ author unknown

Stay tuned, this is beautiful when it blooms. I just don't know what it is. Thanks for visiting!

Doesn't look like it will be long now - nice detail and lighting.

[Richard Hickey]

Wonderful picture.

[Judith Johnson]

It looks like a peony rose to me. Beautiful flower but they don't last long.

[Lisa Poland]

Fabulous!

[Sue Wilde]

Wonderful clarity and I love the sheen

[Issi Bannerman]

It must be a peony rose. It'll be dark pink. I love them. Great image.

[Kelly]

Love it

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I too say this is Peony. Have you seen any ants crawling about on the buds? It's my understanding there's a symbiotic relationship between the two in the blooming process.

Thank you so much for your fun comment on my camera-shy parrot and the fav you gave the picture as well.

[Stephanie Swift]

Yes, i think definitely a peony. Should be lovely when it opens. I love the fat round bud with the water making it gleam!

[Candace]

It for sure will be a beautiful bloom as it is a beautiful bud. Beautiful capture.
