In flowerbeds of western Kentucky
I call this flower a " pē'-ə- nē " but most people around here call it a " pē-ō'- nē ". Either way, the flowers are gorgeous. Peonies must not be very fussy about how they're grown. Our peonies bloom every year with no special care. I love them, and so do the ants.
I'm with you on the pronunciation and the ants.
ReplyDeleteI think the buds secrete a sap that the ants collect for food.
