Several years ago (like 3-4) my mother in law gave me a shoot off her peony bush. I planted it in the center of my yard near my favorite rocks. I have reminded well meaning, but over ambitious children with weed whipping devices not to cut it down. I have hand weeded around it and hoped it would grow and someday bloom.

This spring it did…..

One adorable bloom. I even bought another this year to keep my first one company. I can’t wait for next year.

Don’t give up. Even if it takes a while, you will eventually bloom. 🌸
