Didymosphenia geminata, commonly known as didymo or rock snot, is a species of diatom that produces nuisance growths in freshwater rivers and streams with consistently cold water temperatures and low nutrient levels.
Meaning from Greek Mythology. The legend and meaning of the peony goes all the way back to Greek mythology. It is believed that the peony is named for a person of healing named Paeon who was a student of Asclepius, the god of medicine and healing.
My peonies are beautiful and bloom great. The plants are well established and take little care. My peonies bloomed this spring and now have 5 buds/seeds in a star pattern on the end of the stems. Last year, I didn't do anything with the flowers, just let them die back.
