Crawling Out of the Shadows, originally uploaded by aswiebe.

The best of the photographs that I took on the first day I had my new Canon Powershot. My husband hates peonies; we have two large bushes of them right underneath the living room windows.

Except when they get on your sandwiches.

Peonie sandwiches. Ugh!

might be a little like rosepetal jam?

I've heard of many culinary uses for roses...none for peonies. Considering that humans have a tendency to try and Eat The World, I find this highly suspicious.

Peonies are fine by me, but I really hate how they're always covered in ants.

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

They're the only flower I can think of that requires vigorous shaking before taking inside.

Is that a freakin' gimondous ant or a slighty smallish peony?

What, you haven't noticed the attack of the palm-sized ants? They're already taking on the stray cats in our neighborhood.
