The Peony bush has one bloom fully open and the weather report is thunderstorms until 7:00p.m.
About 5:00p.m. I invited this lovely lady to spend the night indoors, Im glad she accepted, the rains started shortly there after, first a nice light rain, the a bit later Mom really got her knickers in a wad, first wind driven rain, then so heavy I couldn't see 50ft and peonies do not fair well in heavy weather .
Below are two Images, One is a single shot and the other is a 19 image stack both with a D810 and a Nikkor 105 f2.8 set at f32 shutter speed don't matter the Exfi data says f36, While I'm not comfortable with this lens it does a great job.
I bought this lens to reduce the needed working distance of the 200mm f4 when doing my Mini Still life's, only time will tell if I get what I am looking for.

That you John
I just came in from checking to see how the rest of her family faired, she had one sister that was about halfway open , she didn't survive😟 however the rest of the buds are doing fine.

Nice shots Frank. My peonies are great at predicting heavy storms too. Just about every year they bloom and then the storms come. Mine are still about a week away from blooming

Thank you Jimmy
I didn't notice any change before the storms, but from past experience I knew the open flowers wouldn't survive.
