I love peonies & they are quite a good cut flower, I haven’t seen any yet to buy.

Love this half and half with the for -get- me- not background looks like you are going to have a gorgeous peony flower.Fav

Ok, I am really inspired now to go back out in my backyard because I know I have lots of peonies covered with ants (why do ants like peonies so much anyway?)
