Peony from Childhood

NaPoWriMo prompt for today: Poets have been writing about flowers since, oh, the dawn of time. So today, I challenge you to add your own poem to this long tradition, by finding a flower, and versifying in its honor. Happy writing!

Planted before we arrived there by previous owners 

Who planted landscapes around edges

We grew vegetables

To sustain
