You can make lovely bouquets with these using other flowers that bloom here this time of year, Carole (iris, spirea, etc.), but the ants LOVE the peonies so I never bring them indoors anymore. <br /><br />There are some things I've tried such as cutting them, putting in water, and letting them sit out over night.
