My grandfather remembers it growing in her backyard from when he was a little boy. He's 87 now. He took part of it to his house and it never bloomed because of too little sunlight. I took a division to my house and coaxed it into blooming. It smells amazing! Thanks for sharing the poems -- I love the one about being tempted to bow before the peony.

I like to walk with her because the pace is slow and we have time to wonder as we wander. Along the way we passed by a few peony bushes with buds revealing hints of colour. Soon we will be able to rejoice in their full glory.
