King of the Rocks!!! |

I had to throw in my Peony that is just starting to bloom. This plant was here when we purchased the home, 31 years ago!! |
The
peony is a
flowering plant in the
genus Paeonia, the only genus in the
family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Southern Europe and Western North America. Boundaries between
species are not clear and estimates of the number of species range from 25
[2] to 40.
[3]
Most are
herbaceous perennial plants 0.5–1.5 metres (1.6–4.9 ft) tall, but some resemble
trees 1.5–3 metres (4.9–9.8 ft) tall. They have
compound, deeply lobed leaves and large, often fragrant, flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer.
Take care friends, Enjoy the Earth and talk to you soon!!! Martha
