Ok, the peony has a few years on the kid, but Jack will catch up in a bit. This peony has taken about 3 years to get this nice (It needs ants to pollinate it to bloom).
The kid is about 8 months and just starting to try that crawling thing. I know we'll eventually have to have more patience with him than we've had with the peony, but he looks better to me than the plant ever will.
