Hi Bruce, Not sure if your looking for direct sports from 'Gold Standard', but 'Gamma Ray' is a sport of 'Striptease' :-) Here's a list of registered sports from 'Gold Standard' Hosta Registry Here's some list's that Mike Lemke has listed. On this Database not all are direct sports from 'Gold Standard' though. This is a list from Hugo's Database. Hugo Database

So we went. We bought. We went out to dinner. We toured Kim Larsen's garden and ours by moonlight. The drinking team is positioned in front of my snakes skin maple. Tomorrows your last chance to see'm till Oct. Bob alone will be back then. They gave Kim & I a plant yet to be on the market. Photos come dawn. Later, Love, Lisa Here is a link that might be useful:

Thanks Teresa, I'm hoping it will be a good experience for me too! Kathie! It was great meeting you too, thanks for all the hard work you do to make the TSHS as successful as it is! I really enjoyed listening to Olga, it was a great meeting to start off with, and I look forward to many more. Its good to see you posting here as well!! Maggiemae, I'm probably one of the few that found the leaf show absolutely fascinating. I had no idea that hostas were that diverse. For me the whole experience was a positive one (loved that sea of leaves in the tiny bottles!!). Although I've been a gardener for years, the show got me started in my love affair with hostas. Again, some of the greatest joys in our lives wouldn't be had if we isolated ourselves due to all the frustrations we encounter. You know along with the "lovelies" in life there are a lot of "nasties" out there, and as hard as it is sometimes, I just try to shower everyone with kindness. Life is too short, and in the grand scheme of things, its all about people, not hostas. In many ways people are like hostas, some of us can be neglected and grow on the driveway, but others of us need some coaxing and TLC in order to reach our full potential...some of us don't pass the 10 foot rule, some of us do. Put us all together and we make a beautiful tapestry in this thing called life. Not everyone is going to like me, and that's okay, I just need to be as kind to others as I am to my hostas.

Hi Joy! Wish you could have made it ... iris always go fast! And don't worry about the 'big words' ... that's what Google is for! ;) As the 'worm lady' I just wanted to say that I added an update to my 'Garden Worm Bonanza' thread, after talking with the Ag Station about my worm invasion yesterday. You might want to check it out. All good news it seems ... be grateful you have worms, however colossal they may be! They couldn't really explain the size, except to offer the theory that they have been gorging on REALLY good compost (I still think it's global warming!!) Anyway, welcome and hope you can make it in the spring! Here is a link that might be useful: Worm Thread
