my mother used to grow these when I was growing up in NY - I remember that little ants were attracted to them outside - and she used to fill the house with them when they were buds so they would open up in the house and fill the air with a sweet fragrance - I loved it! thanks for bringing those memories back~!~
Oh Ali thank you for sharing this. Since moving to south Florida I have missed spring flowers the most. I loved my peony and iris bed with the lilacs on the fence...I especially miss the wonderful perfume of peonies on my dining room table. You just made my day!
How pretty! Ours opened last week here in chicago. Do you have ants all over yours too? If so, how do you get rid of them. Just wondering what method you use.

Peonies are beautiful! I'm enjoying the peony bush in my neighbor's yard across the street.
