Lovely pictures once again. You have so many hostas---I am envious! The size of the pictures is perfect for viewing. Great picture quality. Nice to see mature specimens---a view of what some of mine may look like one day. So thanks again for posting. I should be getting ready for Christmas, but I must have the hosta bug bad. I'd rather think hosta! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone!

What was I doin' on the 15th? Just lookin' and not postin'. Some pics from June 15th Captain Kirk 6/15/08 Janet 6/15/08 Mildred Seaver 6/15/08 Montana Aureomarginata (recently divided) 6/15/08 Sea Grotto 6/15/08 Stetson 6/15/08 Sunny Disposition 6/15/08 Lady's Slipper 'pubescens' 6/15/08

McT, Iron Gate Delight is in front of Big John. Who is in the top, right corner behind your Ebb Tide? My Ebb Tide gets morning Sun and has always had the edge. Maybe you could ask about your Ebb Tide's edge on the main Discussion board. Someone there may have insight as to whether it will eventually get the edge. The edges of Ebb Tide, Satisfaction, Liberty, Montana Aureomarginata and Magic Fire are favorites of mine. Ebb Tide and Satisfaction were purchased from a local nursery in '06. They sold their Hostas for $6 a Hosta or 4 for $20. The catch was most of the Hostas had crispy edges and slug holes; they also had huge roots. Here are two photos of Abiqua Moonbeam purchased from that nursery about the same time as Ebb Tide and Satisfaction. I didn't get a photo right when Abiqua Moonbeam was planted, but you can see the new growth without the slug holes. How about the plant the following year? No six month photos until after Christmas for me, I don't know what I was doing not to get photos for about a week back in June.

Loved the hostas, would have to move if I had friends like your bear visit often. Too close to nature for me. Connie
