One Lonely Bud

This single solitary peony bud is swelling with pale pink petals. Before long it'll be a billowing puff of ruffles and heavenly fragrance. Unfortunately this lonely bud is the one and only bud of all 4 peony plants in my garden. It makes me a little sad but at the same time I'm thankful for this solo bloom that'll be breathtaking all on it's own.
