A (male) gardener friend of mine once said to me, "Why grow anything you can't eat?" He was standing right next to my wonderful blooming fragrant peonies, and I couldn't resist replying (in my perhaps smart-alecky way) "We need to feed our souls too!" Many years later I'm now an ardent fan of gardening with native plants, but I can't live without peonies! Many thanks, Clara!
