Ants and peonies seem to go together. Ants feed on the flower’s nectar and also keep harmful insects away from the plant. The ant was racing along the bud but I waited until it finally slowed down and took the shot.

Being here in NZ in autumn, I’m always thinking about the northern spring, and I miss our peonies. And yes, the ants just love them. Thanks for the reminder!

I watched a gardening programme just last week which featured peonies which made mention of the ants feeding on the nectar. Fantastice detail of the ant and the bud, Belinda!
