...and the flowers produce a special nectar just for the ants...I find symbiosis fascinating...
...that you can't go from this...
...to this...without a little help from some friendly ants...
...these peonies are at the Church and must be moved for the construction...several people 'volunteered' to take a plant or two...I hope they all thrive in their new locations...and maybe the new owners will bring back a few cuttings when the building is finished...

Oh those are gorgeous! I love peonies. I carried white ones in my wedding bouquet.
Very beautiful peonies. Good idea to have some return when work is finished. MOM
I love peonies, In a neighbours garden there is one with huge, pale pink flowers, lovely.
I have small colonies of ants and blackflies in symbiosis, the blackflies supplying sugary secretions that the ants love. They are on the stems of my anemones.
I have heard about that symbiotic relationship too. Peonies have become one of my favorite flowers. I don't think I saw one until I was 27 for some reason and I grew up in the south. We have a lot in our yard. I just wish they would last longer. Here's hoping the peonies do well in their new home and that a few make it back to their old church home too.
