OK, yes, I'm spotty with internet activity. At the end of the season it's clean-up time, then the holidays are family time, then it's keep up with the snow on the driveway, then it's catalogue season, yay! Now I'll try to describe the main Hosta in the foto: Yes, the one that someone circled in black is H. Satisfaction. The blue to it's left is H. Love Pat. The little one almost buried to it's lower left is H. Stiletto. To the left of H. Stiletto is H. Kiwi Full Monte. To the upper left of KFM is H. Paradise Glory. Behind Love Pat is, of course H. Sum and Substance. To the right of Satisfaction is H. Orange Marmalade. BTW, this bed gets a lot more sun than most of here. Go Spring! HH

No problem, I really like Sir Richard so even if you are wrong - you have helped me to discover one that I did not know about. When I called one of the places that I buy Hostas from the owner told me that it was on 'her' wish list! Sounds like I might have to wait for a while.

Greg and Joan, I'm looking forward to more pics from you two! Golden Pagoda is intriguing. You don't see that one much, and I bet it gets very prominent points in the Houston heat. Joan, maybe you hire a little crew of teenagers every Spring Break to help you out with those 200 trees! Can't wait to see the blooms that are developing here, and you bet I'll post when I get a chance. Robert, that Lemon Drop is Thornton's and one of only a few big ones I have. It's certainly the "branchiest". That's what you can look forward to in a few more years! Bill, our little guy gets us invited back to a lot of places! We would all love to go back to CA soon. Will definitely let you know if we get a chance. K, glad the seeds are coming up for you; they're the perfect flowers for a Texas drought! Yes, that is TLD on the tree because my memory is just THAT bad, lol. Sometimes I abbreviate and then ask myself, "Now what the heck does that stand for again?" Dave, thanks for the compliments! I'm in Austin. We're 8b but I've seen at least one big plumeria tree kept in the ground all winter in my neighborhood. It can be done in a sheltered spot with frost cloth since our freezes are all short-lived. Mike, I found another possible oh-please-let-it-be inflo today, so I feel like I won the lottery! Hope you also have a great bloom year!

Oh geeze. Thanks for the kind words. Very much appreciated but not necessary. :) Garden Web is my occasional mental vacation/distraction from a hectic real life. As much as I love color, it's nice to come here and read about other stuff.
