When we moved into this house nearly 30 years ago, a kind neighbor walked us around the property pointing out some valuable plants that might not have been recognized. One was a tree peony. Sadly, it's in our lower yard, in a corner that can't be viewed easily from the house or our patio. One year when Matt was living here, he cut one of the flowers and floated it in a bowl. Ever since, that's been our practice, so now we can enjoy the beautiful blooms for as long as they last on the tree.
