This is the reemergence of one of my peony plants in the backyard. They look a little otherworldly when they start to break from the ground, but they have the most fragrant beautiful flowers when the time comes. Bryan used to quote Frank Herbert’s Dune a lot. One of his favorites was “beginnings are such delicate times.” How true. These shoots remind me of that. Spring reminds me of that.
