Mono Monday - Ready

Ready to burst open into a beautiful peony - more defined in large. This huge bud was spotted in a garden as I walked to the other garden centre near the village.  A warm and muggy day,   A look around and future purchases spied, but this time I decided to wait until I had the car before buying anything!  Walking back to the village I received a text from a friend who had seen me walking by, and she asked me to call in for coffee on the way home - that ended up as a glass of water as I was too hot for coffee!  A nice couple of hours whiled away in her garden and catching up.  Thanks to random_angel for hosting.
