We moved into our current house just over 4 years ago at Christmas. It was neat to see everything for the first time. I had never grown a Paeony before. Somebody told me that they would be covered with ants. I didn't think so since I had never seen these ants around the year. Each year, they faithfully arrive and chew away at the flowers to help them open.
This is one of about 8 buds from last year. I did some research to find out that if you add ash to the soil, the number of blooms increases. I put our fireplaces ashes on the ground this spring and now have over 100 buds developing. I hope to be sharing some wonderful photos of this year's display shortly.
