I've been trying to learn more about the plants and birds around our house this year. My husband recognized the peony before I did because his grandmother used to have one. This is our third year here and the first time she's been properly tended - since we moved in, at least.
ItтАЩs so funny that after I read your poem a friend on FB posted she had cut some peonies to bring in because they were so heavy and dragging the ground outside!
It's worse after rain, and we got some just as our first blossom was opening, so we got a couple small stakes to hold them up. I brought that one inside after a couple of days anyway, though.
Reading this I realized how much I did not know about peonies! Fascinating look into this flower
