Ten years ago a neighbor gave us his peony....it was 40 years old and when we dried to dig it up, it was so large we had to divide the thing.<br /><br />Five years later we moved and had to divide it again to take it with us to our new house. It is still thriving. A new peony I purchased three years ago has done NOTHING.Karmyn Rhttp://karmynsdreamings.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-27003063062896448592009-06-17T09:07:27.796-05:002009-06-17T09:07:27.796-05:00What a very unusual peony and how beautiful it is!...What a very unusual peony and how beautiful it is!!

Now the ants.... I usually get ants in my laundryroom and downstairs bathroom but this year they are determined to be in my livingroom. My husband says that they are terribly thick all over the yard... Could it be that I planted three of Grandma's peony plants in the yard and the ants are having a grand "welcome to your new home" party!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138747690602990437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-47325087573751541072009-06-16T14:42:47.485-05:002009-06-16T14:42:47.485-05:00I had not heard of or seen this fern leaf peony be...I had not heard of or seen this fern leaf peony before.
