I just looked it up and it is indeed a sweet garden story! (I think a layout with ants on is required here)! 'The garden myth is that peonies need ants on them in order for the buds to open properly. This is not true. A peony bud will open just as well with or without the ants.'
I'm not sure that's true though its a cute story! peonies raised in hothouses for sale do not get ants on them as they're sprayed with insecticide!! I have lots of peonies in my garden but its the white irises which get completely plastered in ants!
You taught me something new today! They look so lush and healthy. What a beautiful sanctuary your garden is! I can see all the care and work you have put into it. It's gorgeous Pam!
Did you know that peony buds won’t open without ants? The petals won’t pull apart to make flower until ants have pushed them apart. I was so happy to see ants on my peony buds today. I will take more photos after the open.
I really am a terrible photographer. Please forgive the imperfections. I know most of you are awesome photographers.
