Eugene Lins of Cologne, Minnesota started growing peonies on his farm in the 1920s. This hobby took off & soon Mr. Lins began hybridizing and propagating peonies. He named several of them after his wife and daughters: Mary, Mandeleen, Marcella, Ramona, Rosemarie, and Dolores. By the 1960s he had created thirty-nine varieties, many of which won state and national awards. Lins’ Peonies are found in Europe, Australia, Russia, Canada & other countries.

Arlene Rankin approached City of Normandy Park in 2020 and inquired about planting a peony garden in a City Park. In 2021 Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden applied for grant funding to move 30 peonies to the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden. By 2023, the peony were introduced to the garden.
