Peonies, peonies



Kathleen and Stan went to the J.R. Cummins homestead this morning over in Eden Prairie. About 90 years ago Mrs. Cummins bought 400 peony bulbs at the Minneapolis Farmers Market. She planted them in front of her house. They have been tended ever since, presently by the city of Eden Prairie. The house is located across the street from Flying Cloud airport, so we had to bring in the bird songs from Bonnie and Bert Notermann's nature preserve, just like they do at the PGA.
