How I Love to Hate You
There is no plant here at Natchez Glen that I have a more complicated relationship with than Paeonia, the peony. I love that moment in spring where their goblet-shaped flowers develop and grab attention from all the other plants. I hate when that moment is over. And in warm climates in can, in fact, be only a moment. They do very little the rest of the year. So the question becomes, is it worth it? The answer is yes, no, and it depends.
