Why is it every spring when the peonies are in full bloom the storms and heavy winds pulverize them? It is almost like you don't need to watch your weather forecast. You just look out the window and say, "Oh I see a penny here comes the storm!"

I like peonies but I do not like the ants that come with the flowers. The ants are necessary for the flower to bloom. There is a coating over the buds that the ants chew off. They have a symbiotic relationship.

So I have planted my peony plants far enough away from the house so that the ants don't get into the house. They are a beautiful plant. And I love the fragrance. Sometimes I will dry them in the oven on low heat and sprinkle a little cinnamon with them. It makes a wonderful potpourri.
