Dis here be my fav'rit flower. I should have a bush of them.
I like peonies. When I was growing up, we always had peony bushes, and it fascinated me how they lived in symbiosis with the ants. (Ants eat the sticky covering of their buds; without ants, they can't flower.)
Another interesting peony fact is that their color depends on the acidity of their soil; transplanting a white peony bush to the spot where a pink one was just makes it flower pink instead, and vice versa.
Also, they're pretty and they don't have a strong scent. Yay allergies!
