Ant Ball


Not sure what flowers these are but before they bloom the ants have their way with them. Multitudes of big, hungry ants.

Peonies?

Yup, peony

That's it! I just googled peony and those are the blooms. All these years, it was the antball bush. Thank you.

If the ants don't show up to eat the coating off the bud, the peonies can't bloom.

How about that. (I'm tempted to taste them but I'd rather not explore ant backwash.)
