Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Peony! That's it! I couldn't remember the name. Though camellias are close: [link]

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yeah, Teppy, the blooms are very similar. Peonies are pretty common.

Because books.

And Cash and Steph win! What, I don't know, but they win!

Peonies attract ants, don't they? On the bush outside, I mean. I always wondered why that was.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The ants are a part of what helps them bloom, though I disremember exactly what they do.

I hate to even start one of these discussions, but here goes:

How do you pronounce "peony"? I've only ever heard PEE-uh-nee, but I have one friend who insists that it's pee-OH-nee.

Of course, she also pronounces "corset" as cor-SETT, which is just the weirdest damn thing.

PEE-uh-nee

Though I say it with more of an "oh" than an "uh" in the middle.

What brenda said. And I had no idea about the ants.

Also, cor-SET is WRONG.

The "uh" is very possibly my lazy pronunciation. Like "twenny" when saying "20."
