This is a flower from a peony beside my house here in Everett, Washington. It smells good and it's huge (you can get some idea from the size of the coffee pot in the background). The only downside is it's the only flower on the plant this year. That peony has caught a fungus/rust of some sort and can't shake it. This fall I'm going to try cleaning around it really well and see if I can get rid of the blackspot.
