Flowery Friday 10

I don't often get up to FF 10.  For whatever reason I've taken lots of flower photos this year. More to come. These are June 13 and 14. This is the last batch before the peony explosion. I know you've all been waiting for that.

This is the first unfurling peony petal, complete with an ant checking it out.

3. Yes, same flower, slightly different lighting and composition.

7. OK, you're right. This is not a flower. But it was right in the batch of flower photos and looked pretty impressive so I thought I'd include it, just because. Any complaints can be sent to flowersrnotus@bitemybutt.com.

Almost. So close to unfurling. One year I'll have to somehow set up a camera to take a time lapse movie of the process.
