Hosta Z 2013

10 years ago

I wish to thank you all for playing along. We had some awesome photos of top notch hostas. Take photos often as I will be back December 26. By the way: Everyone is enabled to add 10 more hostas to every shopping trip. Spring is around the corner. Paula

You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland. Every day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island. Explain how the tractor got there?

Four cars come to a four way stop, all coming from a different direction. They can't decide who got there first, so they all go forward at the same time. They do not crash into each other, but all four cars go. How is this possible?

Saved the best for last:

How many hostas will Mocc buy this year?

Hosta I 2013

Yes Steve, I figured that 'Invincible' was from Kevin Vaughn, as well as 'Fragrant Bouquet' and any other fragrant hostas that Paul Aden took credit for. From what I've gathered from reading of this man in the last year or so, I'm doubting he registered ANY hostas that he could honestly call his own. My post was pure sarcasm, my friend. : ) (Except for the compliments on the nice-looking specimens posted on this thread). Don B. P.S. 'Aden 412', 'Aden 802,' 'Aden BLAH BLAH BLAH...' LOL...You pickin up what I'm puttin down? P.P.S. And yes indeed, I totally agree with you; I'm also hoping the hosta registrar will make the needed corrections in good time. I was very heartened to see Hallson Gardens begin to do so on their website. This post was edited by Don_in_Colorado on Sun, Jan 12, 14 at 20:51

My 'Olive Bailey Langdon' is only first year and my only O. I look forward to seeing her grow up to be a beauty like the ones shown here, hopefully. I will have at least two more Os ... have a division of Orange Marmalade to pick up in the spring from my daughter and I will have On Stage as a new arrival in my garden for 2014...thanks to Paula from our Florida Division for enabling :-)

leaflover76, Montana Mountain Snow is 10 years old. It's had some rough years - being in the wrong place- growing in a pot and doing well then almost rotting away in a bad spring. It started over again from not much about three or four years ago and now seems to be doing better. All Montana's are slow as can be for me. I didn't post a picture of Montana Aureo. because though at least it now looks like it suppose to leaf size wise, it's 20 years old with about 3 eyes. It hates me. Oh... I noticed you had Moonstruck as a mini. The library says it's a small but mine seems to be at least a medium.

Only some undulata Erromena, and they were in the front row of the Sagae picture. I'd say $1990 dollars is one dollar more than $1989 dollars.

Riddle #1 The water is shallow enough that the tractor was driven from the mainland to the island.

Riddle #2 All cars turn right.

Riddle # 3 Hard to guess when Mocc likely doesn't know the answer herself yet, but here goes. 197.

Huzzzah! Back from a computer crash with a new hard drive and not much else. Wouldn't you know, the external hard drive all the automatic back ups were stored on decided to die at the same time, so all the bookmarks and e-mail addresses are gone. At least the photos, music, and documents were (mostly) also backed up on a second external hard drive. Sometimes it's good to have a belt and suspenders!

Lots of programs to reinstall, and no, I'm not singing Zippity Do Dah.

The tractor (obviously, to many of us this winter) drove there over the ice in winter.

We could start a lottery re. mocc's purchases. Pay your dollar, place your bet, winner goes on a shopping spree!!

Ummm, Paula, do you want me to share with you the answer to the last question of the alphabet puzzle? I'll TRY to keep track.

#mocc keep tract. It will make a great opening for this upcoming season. LOL Toss out anything under 100.

Side note: Russia did a bang up job. The next Olympics will be here in 1.5 hosta growing seasons.

I shall endeavor to live up to expectations. Always remember that no plant is harmed in this challenge.

Hmmmm, do duplicates count as One Addition. Because I have 8 of Verna Jean on order, already have 2 in the garden. NEW VARIETIES, shall we say.

Zounds next to Pulmonaria.....the spotted hosta! My sister who claims to know nothing about plants walked through my garden and said her favorite hosta was the spotted one. LOL.
