A Rescued Peony

Yesterday when I was in the local nursery, hidden among patches of plants, I happened to see a lone peony standing aloofly. It didn't belong to any group of its neighbors; it looked lost as if someone had forgotten it there. Thus I made my way to it and rescued it.

This morning, it blooms in my garden, outshining all my other flowers. A curious bee flies directly to it, dives into its thick, soft, golden stamen from where wafting a charming fragrance. 

The bee loves it, so do I.
