This seems much bigger than last year!

This is more like it! #exoskeletal

This is the only flower I got last season out of all my peonies, @jmlincoln -- but so #fragrant and so worth the wait!

Oh that's pretty! Love the frilly tips of the petals. Hoping you get more blooms this year 🤞🏻

@jmlincoln 🤞🤞🤞

I love it

Very pretty. Hope more blooms follow 🤞🤞😍

I just noticed how #pentagonal this flower is
