What a lovely display of peonies this spring!
I have to give credit to my neighbor, whose kitchen window looks oout over the peony bed. He has been weeding them for the past couple of years and they have responded to his care. Because these flowers are at a side of my house that I rarely pay attention to, next to my neighbor's driveway, I've sometimes forgotten to care for them.
I'm wondering how old the bed is. I'm guessing maybe 50 years, but that's only a guess. Peonies are happy on their own, and mine don't pay attention to the rules. They don't get much sun, the soil isn't rich, and yet with weeding they are happy.
And the deer don't like them. How great is that?
