Last year I set out some peonies along our short sidewalk. I had hesitated because we rent this place, but we seemed in a sedentary pattern and I thought why not. We thought it was a waste of money, because they looked terrible by late summer and then just died away. I had forgotten the wonderful plants of my childhood and how they go dormant and then "spring" back to life! Funny, really. Anyway, she requested pink, and I, as always, aim to please:
In this area, they typically reach peak around Memorial Day, and there are many of them planted in local cemeteries. A fitting tribute to the honored dead: life, and the struggle to be a more free and equal people, goes on. In remembrance of so many kinsmen and friends...

Thank you thank you!! I LOVE them! Mwah!
I love peonies and yours are indeed gorgeous. I love the fact that not only do they come back year after year, they come back more beautiful than the year before. Great photographs.
Magnificent!! The lovely Peony refuses to grow here in the tropical South...but oh, the flowers we have!! Thanks for sharing these beauties!! xo

As you can see from one or more of your pictures, peonies do attract ants, you know. I know because my mother raised peonies.
