...because i think they deserve a post on their own. the peony is my favourite flower. i've tried in vain to grow them because i think they are just the most beautiful size, shape, and color.
most attempts have failed due to poor climates and the dogs' interference. they used to love to trample all over my plants as they'd chase dogs or cars going down the alley. now that there's a fence separating the back lawn and gardens from the deck, my gardens can all grow in peace without interference.
i have moved some of my peonies to a separate container and they are flourishing. i like the concept of container growth because i can put the plant anywhere i choose. i like the idea of transporting my garden to add a shot of green or color anywhere.
i chose lighter pink peonies (i believe they're called "sarah bernhart"), yet it appears that most of mine are potentially magenta. my favourites are the light pink peonies and i'm hoping they'll blossom, but it's not looking that way.
the ants are not seen as pests, but rather assistants in getting the flowers to open...so i watch in amazement as these little guys go to work and how everything in nature has its place.
it's really freaking amazing how things work.
