Pink Peony Fireworks

Explore: 7-4-09 (Front Page) Thank you my dear Flickr friends.

What could be more pronounced than pink on black? These peonies stand out like pink planets in a pitch black night sky.

Please view in large size to see the details.

To my American friends, happy July 4th Holiday!
