PEONIES

Just wanted to post a picture of the first peonies--in all their glory.  I have to laugh while taking the pictures of the freshly cut blooms.  In the camera lens I see little bitty black ants crawling all over the table.  These are nothing like the infamous fire ants down here in the south.


Now, I'm not sure if these were the peony plants that I pulled from Grandma's house.  I don't recall the beautiful ribbon of fuchsia in the white bloom.  This plant might have been one that I had purchased last year.  Not to worry.  She is a beauty! 

The Illinois peony bushes are growing.  Just no buds yet.  I'll be patient.
