I'm so excited. One of the peony crowns I bought and planted last year has its first bloom. I don't think the other one will bloom this year, it was a smaller crown.

Have wanted to have peonies since I was a kid and saw the gorgeous peonies a neighbor had in their back yard. But this is the first time as an adult I've lived somewhere you can grow them.

Bud is from yesterday, open bloom this morning!

It's like a peacock spreading his tail!

@jztusk Now I'm imagining it shaking like a peacock shakes its ass! 😆

@GhostCottageBakery

Like one of those old Merrie Melodies cartoons!

@jztusk KC and the Sunshine Band, "Shake Your Booty" is what's playing in my imagination. 😂
@GhostCottageBakery I love that the previous owner planted peonies at our house. They tip over almost as soon as they bloom, though, so this year I’ve tried staking them
