Peony bud

I took a photo of this three days ago, and was quite pleased with it but didn't blip the photo as I got caught up in a very photogenic parade.  I thought it would be interesting to catalogue its growth, however, so I've uploaded the photo I took on the 4th May as an extra. There's not much difference in the two, but peonies never seem to last long, so I'm sure it will bloom very soon (if the weather ever warms up again...)
