Haha, yeah the ants. I can't stand them (lived a couple places where it was a real kitchen battle. Ugh.) I also considered roses. They're so beautiful together -- very classic. I had both regular and a tree peony one place I lived, and brought some tree peonies somewhere, and people thought they were fake because they were so amazing. And big! :-O They're one of the rare instances of me liking pink, lol. Though the darker colors suit me better.

Nice to see a fellow fan of them.
