5 slices of Key Lime Pie - a year to year progression

Key Lime Pie (a sport of Squash Casserole) - was ordered as Jewel of the Nile and labeled as such for over 2 years until properly ID'ed on this forum.

Arrived as a single division plant in a 4" pot in 2008 (top pic) and each pic going down is one year older. Nice looking plant by 2010 (middle pic) and really matured last year (17 eyes) and commanded its spot. A good grower with beautiful colors and form. Fun to look back and view the progression.

This whole bed (started in '08) has really matured to the point where I have needed to move a few plants to new locations.

Oh, and this is the closest we get to a hosta fix right now, as the April snows continue in MN. Forecasts for next week are highs in mid 40's to 50's, so hopefully we can begin to think about spring soon.

Thanks for looking.

Paul
