Symbiosis

The peony attracts ants for protection.
When the peony blooms and stops offering nectar
the ants leave. Can’t get better than that!
Everyone wins!

It is definitely a great example of symbiosis at work, both ant and peony benefit. What a great shot to show this. V

Great close up. Good situation in the world of the peony and ant. Too bad ours is not that way. "V"
