Apparently it isn't pot!!!

i bought my house about 3.5 years ago, i guess. one of the previous owners was a gardener, so it's been fun to find plants in all kinds of places...and then wait to see what they are! so i found these bushes (more like stringy little stick plants) in the back yard...and i've been suspecting for a loooong time that they might be pot. what can i say???..if you knew the rest of the house's history, it wouldn't shock you either! well, it turns out that my botanical identification skills are VERY lacking...the suspected pot plant...bloomed! it's a peony! hahahahaha! and boy, is it beautiful!
