Peony Plant Growing

I'm relieved to see that this is my peony plant growing strong. This weekend I noticed what looked like hundreds of carpenter ants all over the flower buds. In doing some research looks like they will not do any harm to the plant and I do not need to spray either. This has become my favorite flower and makes the house smell wonderful when I bring them inside! I can't wait for my first bloom of the season :-)
