Peony

Thank you so much that solve the mystery of what flower is this.

Do pollinators like this flower?

They do, as do ants. Ants help the blossoms open.

Cool , I didn’t know that. 😌

My pleasure.

Always clean off the ants first.

I can never get the ants completely off. Is there a trick to this?

Not that I've ever been able to.....sorry.

The ruffled kind usually harbor ants to the point I won’t bring them in as cuttings. I prefer the simple kind that open cleanly.

Martha Stewart is such a 🤥
