Six months ago - 6/14/08

Sharing photos and seeing others' photos is one of the highlights of the message boards.

We got above freezing yesterday for the first time in about a week and a half. It has stayed above freezing overnight and into today; it is hard to believe but we are supposed to get below zero again tonight.

Beautiful pictures Cowboy. I just looked at all the 6 months ago pictures you and Phil have posted. They're great. The Ebb Tide and Montana Aureo make me drool. I realize mine must hate me. Maybe they just don't grow well in Canada. Anyway, I didn't have any pictues from the 14th but I do have a few from the 15th, today. I put them on a separate post. This was a good idea, thinking six months back or six months ahead - whatever. I'm looking outside my window and seeing icicles and lots of snow. The water froze last night. Winter seems to be a challange... McT

Sometimes I look but don't post. There are probably more like me but I wanted you to know your pictures are a bright spot in a windy cold day here.

This one doesn't get much direct sun but is does get a lot of light. There were two Junes but the June on the right was moved as they filled in. The Hostalibrary says there is debate about whether there are two June sports being sold. I thought that for a while but I think June just changes so much depending on the season, light conditions and age of the plant. Check out Hank Zumach's June in the Hostalibrary. June was purchased in 2004 and was split into two plants before planting. June 8/23/04 (One of two plants) June 8/23/04 (Two of two plants) Here they are in 2005 & 2006. June 10/6/05 June 10/1/06 2 Junes 7/25/07 2 Junes 7/26/08 June 7/14/09 (one of the Junes was moved) June 7/7/10 June 7/1/11 This post was edited by tsbccowboy on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 14:20

Oh, my!!! I accidentally landed here, while beaming back and forth between 'Conversation' (not much going on there)to 'Discussion' and I'm sure glad I got side-tracked here. Your pix are so awesome, John! Thank you for sharing them, especially these days! They have given me 'a shot in the arm' and I can't wait for Spring again! I love the 'show' in Spring with the sometimes purple eyes emerging, pushing up to stand tall and slowly unfurl, and the leaves displaying their particular Spring colors lasting well into Summer! Then, the Summer show begins, with many scapes making their appearance early on! Thank you, John--oh, and I STILL love my daylily magnets! :o)

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. Cowboy Abiqua Moonbeam 7/25/06 New growth doesn't have as many slug holes. Abiqua Moonbeam 7/2/07

-8 right now, at least it's not raining.

We got above freezing on Saturday for the first time in about a week and a half. The temp then stayed above freezing thru Sunday afternoon. The temp sank like a rock starting around 2pm Sunday afternoon and didn't get above zero on Monday.

Phil, Thanks for the green!

Phil,

Is that Spearmint at the top, just to the right of center?
