Peonies

My Grandma gave me these a few years before she passed away.  She said they have been in her family for 65 years.  I planted about 12 plants.  The first year my husband sprayed them with ant killer not knowing that the ants are the only reason the flower blooms.  After waiting a few years for them to recover from that,  I now have several beautiful peony bushes.  I would guess that they have been in my family 70 years now.  At least I didn't totally kill them off!  :)
