Paeonia, sp (Peony)

Spring is here (cue my favorite Tom Lehrer song), and the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming. Or not, in my case. I've had terrible luck getting peonies to grow and bloom in my region because it really doesn't get cold enough, so I've found a solution: 3D printing.

Is it ecologically sound? Probably no worse than my continued attempts to grow a plant that doesn't want to grow anywhere near me, so I'd say it comes out even. At least for me.

I've attached the print files (including a flat set of stamens that you can shape in boiling water). And much like the [rose](https://www.patreon.com/posts/rosa-sp-150069915) I posted earlier, you can dye (using a dye for synthetic fabric) or paint (I used acrylic ink) to add a pop of color as appropriate. Or use an appropriate multicolor filament.
