This is emerging in a garden in Scituate right now. I am no gardener and so put this image forth to a number of friends for identification. One supposed it to be cabbage patch doll and another guessed that it is a ruby-clawed snarfblat – but the general consensus seems to be that this will grow up to be a peony when all is said and done.
Spring is sprouting!
beautiful close up, I love peonies! I also like “ruby-clawed snarfblats”:)
