I know that right now I SHOULD be working but, here I am blogging away instead. Honestly, I'm not feeling terribly guilty about it ... yet. :-)
This flower is a triple photo theme entry. It's Mellow Yellow Monday, Macro Monday and Today's Flowers. Many thanks to those who host these fun photo themes. Be sure to check out the others who have shared their Mellow Yellow photos and their Macro's by clicking on the links provided.
Unfortunately I'm NOT the gardner in our family so I'm clueless on the name of this beautiful flower.
Thanks for visiting and your comments are always appreciated. :-)
*** Update: I've learned the flower is a Peony.
